    Formerly No. 111, prior to 1891

    No111 in 1865 was George Sharman Watchmakers, but by 1876 Mr Sharman had quit watch making and turned his hand to running an off licence from this address.

    Recorded in the Kelly's Directory of 1932, it has Star Supply Stores having made the building its premises, as you can see the tiled step in the 3rd picture. Star Supply Stores carried on until the late 1960's and once it closed W. Grace took over and ran the shop as an Estate Agent. By 1998 the shop had become Raphael selling Craft supplies and Jewellery, but they like the old Star Supply Stores sign.
