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.

PS
Lovely to see the Childerly name here, a long standing Coton name

This was Mrs Whitehead’s shop, located just to the right of the village hall.
