Owned by my grandmother , Mary Wilkinson and my aunt Brenda, enjoyed many great times there as a child.
This was owned by a Mother and Daughter; the daughter is still alive and lives next to my sister on Wallcroft, off Hadlow Road. I remember a cafe as you walked in right in front of the door, and on the right was a little tuck shop where you could get sweets. It was like going back the 18th century. I cannot remember their names, I will have to call my sister to ask her. Wonderful times. My father and myself and my sisters were all born in Willaston. My father was John Thomas Sumner.
