278, South Road. Walkley

This used to be a branch of "Rare and Racey"

I wonder if it will escape being "breeze blocked up", like most of the other shops that have been converted into houses have been.

Wrong! The Mary Ann LEMONS who married Levi WRAGG was the sister of Francis LEMONS. 

Thomas in the 1879 Directory is the father of Francis and Mary Ann. He died the following year. He had previously had a butcher's shop on Broad Lane:

It can be tricky tracing these buildings through the records as shops and houses are added to the street: these shops appear to have had 4 different numbers during the course of the 1870's, but had their current numbers in the 1881 census.
