C.H. Hogetts Pet Shop, Bristol Road South, corner of Church Road c.1960. Looking from Huins Corner towards what will later be The Grosvenor Shopping Center.
Mr. Hodgetts Grandson Paul emailed me in 2017. ... "I have just found your amazing photo of my grandfather's shop. I was born there in 1951 to Stan and Betty and lived there until 1964 when the council made a compulsory purchase to build the shopping complex. I do recall the shop. Parsons the builders next door, Ray Best to the right side next to him Nicholas the fruit shop and was it then the park entrance, Tays corner, Wrensons Woolworths and Huins the shop shop, Moreton the funeral directors." ... he now lives in Market Drayton, Shrops.
The same site in 1980s, windows since been blocked up
