More about this scene

The war memorial remains, but many of the small shops have lost their fight against the supermarkets. The Cooperative Emporium (right) and grocer's shop next door were demolished and replaced about four years ago by the Community Resource Centre. The nearby parade once housed a sweetshop, a hairdresser's and a shoe shop – all long gone. The town's Regal Cinema closed in 1970, and is now used as a supermarket.

These two shops in the High Street in Crowle were owned by my grandmother Rose Raper. They were handed down to my father and aunt. My dad Raymond Raper had the grocers shop at number 98 and we lived above the shop until I was ten years old in 1963. My dad continued to work in the shop until his retirement in 1984. The shop at 100 was owned by my aunt Winnie Underwood. She had a drapery shop and her husband ran the post office at the back of the premises.
