Standing On The Corner Of Cheap Street And Long Street 1924

A Memory of Sherborne.

My father & mother Harold and Lily Plympton standing on the corner of Cheap Street and Long Street. My father worked for Lemons the tailors, following in the footsteps of my grandfather Charles Robert Plympton who lived in Wootton Grove. In 1929 my father opened his own tailors shop in Long Street then in 1935 moved the shop to Hound Street which ran until 1943 when cloth was so short my father closed the shop and moved to Kings Lynn in Norfolk. My Plympton ancestors had lived in Sherborne, Nether Compton, Rimpton and Caundle Marsh for at least 185 years.

Hi my great grandfather Phillip Baveystock was a shoe maker and had a shop in Long Street in 1834. Great to think that your ancestors would have known and spoken to mine , probably on many occasions! Granville
