Village Shop – Denny’s

This photograph shows Len Denny and his daughter standing outside the shop at the bottom of the High St in 1938. Len took ownership from Mrs Eliza Bard who was there in 1911. He sold sweets, groceries, tobacco, comics, and newspapers. Len also set aside an area for boot repairs. The interior was dark and dingy. It was later turned into a private house known as Chestnuts.
