This was built about 1929, when William J. Gardner bought and demolished Nos 5 and 6 Bath Cottages (a pair of Dutch-gabled cottages that mirrored ‘Laburnum House’ opposite). Gardner was a seed and corn merchant and also sold vegetables and firewood.
For subsequent changes on this site see Shops 1939-2000 where there might be some pictures, and Shops 21st Century where there certainly will be. Look for the same street number.
