More about this scene
No 18 High Street (left, next to the fishmonger's) was a baker's run by Mr Brinkworth in the 1870s; it was a grocer's in 1890, run by Sarah Smith. From 1899 until 1931 the Doswell family ran dressmaking and confectionery businesses. In the 1940s the shop was the main Avon wool suppliers. The Tudor buildings were empty from 1960, and in March 1963 they were demolished; not long after they were replaced by two Bath stone buildings, shown in C294084 on pages 42-43.
