on dates Unless
otherwise stated, dates given do not indicate the years in which the business

Nos 24 (red door) and 26 (blue) were built in 1760 by a
bricklayer, Robert Burwood.. Only the facades now remain.
Nos 24 -38 Church Street were purchased, one by one by Adnams
Brewery over many years...
No 24 was one of the last to be demolished in 1984. The
fascias were carefully retained and still look like the
row of cottages they once were, but behind them lies the
brewery bottling plant.
Interior of No 24 in the early 1970s when it was occupied in retirement by Dorothy Leckenby. Ernest had once managed the shoe shop at Nos 84-86 High Street..
