Corner Shop at Woodhaven
Corner Shop at Woodhaven
The shop at Woodhaven was in the end property of Woodhaven Terrace, and was a shop from at least as far back as the late 1890s. The postbox seen here is still on the wall of the property today. The shop was latterly called the Shopping Basket before being converted to a house, probably in the 1990s. This is probably Miss Sim, who ran the shop in the 1920s and 1930s. The corner shop was always a great favourite with the Mars boys.

Comments about this page
Long after the shop was closed, it still displayed a faded sign advertising the soft drinks of Robertson Fruit Products Ltd of which my father had been Managing Director.
I think this was run by the Grubbs in the 1960’s
