Alward's Shop. Roy And Joan
A Memory of Netheravon.
Before this shop was Taylor's it was Roy and Joan Alwards (my in-laws) They lived in the adjoining house with their two children. They owned the shop from around 1953 to about 1962 and have many happy memories of the village and some especially lovely customers. Frank Sawyer, the author and broadcaster lived opposite the shop with his wife and son Tim. The local bobby was called Peter Carter who decorated the shop window at Christmas time which became a topic of conversation throughout the village.
Cybil, Sheila, and Mrs Hadfield all worked in the newsagents and Tom Drew ran the local garage. Dr Holland was the local wonderful doctor but his bedside manner put the fear of God into all his patients.
The village school was run by Mrs Stirrup.
