Edmund Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 Mabel Brooke ran the sweetshop / tobacconist shop. She was there in 1939 (with husband unemployed clerk Cecil) and still there in 1957 (Kellys Directory). But by 1969 it was in the hands of M. Staniland, a confectioner according to Kellys, so must have boarded over the Brookes' name. Cecil died in 1983 and Mabel in 1995. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
