Mr and Mrs Roberts retired in 1984. They are pictured here with the new owners, Jim Frost and his wife with their daughter Rebecca. Mr and Mrs Roberts had a special day; ’This is Your Life’ red folder presentation; and wine. Mary Breckon is in the doorway and the new owner’s name has been painted above – ’J.S. Frost & Sons’. Tracy Hayton told us: “My sister use to run the same shop – Vanessa Allinson (nee Barnes )- just before it was pulled down. I can remember Mr Roberts coming round in his blue van and selling stuff out of the back, he always had a smile on his face.” Image courtesy of John Roberts, thanks to Marjorie Magor and Tracy Hayton for information; also Rebecca Fisher-Smith (nee Frost) for the correction. |
