Handing Over

Handing Over

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.”
