I used to buy Cydrax and Corona fizzy drinks, granulated sugar and other groceries from Mrs Whitehead’s shop in the early 1960s. (She was Peggy Purse’s mother. ) I was always very anxious for her safety when she mounted her ’sit up and beg’ bicycle to go home, as she was so tiny and it was quite a leap for her to get onto the saddle.

Just on the left of the old post office, according to Peter Burbage
This was Mrs Whitehead’s shop, located just to the right of the village hall.
