185-186-187 High Street

130 years ago IF you had stood on the doorstep of No5 High St, you would have seen No185-186-187 the High Street, which can be seen in the picture on the right, was one of three houses in the Terrace which once stood in front of Park Terrace. In 1932 No185 was listed as a Florists operated by the Dye Brothers and by 1967 the building had become a Central Heating Shop run by Mr C. N. Scupham. No186 or Parkview was a Confectioners run by Mr Horace Jesse Capon, but by 1967 it had reverted back to a private house with a Mrs E. A. James living at the address. No187 the High Street, Parkholme House, spent some time as a vicarage, with the Reverend Fredrick. W. Bidwell living there in 1932.

This is not Parkholme Terrace which is still standing. This was known as Park Terrace, Parkholme Terrace was behind this terrace and was approached through a passage on the north of Park Terrace, the last remains of Park Terrace, which fronted High Street, were demolished in the late 1960s, but Parkholme Terrace still stands overlooking the grounds of High Street Surgery.
