tonio Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Peter Hurdley was the optician. I used to go to him for my glasses. Jimmy was the optician and he only retired a couple of years ago. It is now run by his son Alex. Peter had the grocers after his dad retired for a short while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so it must be close to where the sportsman pub used to stand, well to within a few feet anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
