Derick Pearson tells us: &#8220;Eatons started in the early 1920s as a Pawnbrokers on North Road and moved down to Zetland Road; they used this shop as a Draper, Furnishers, Fancy Goods and Carpet suppliers and were rivals to Trinders; Uptons took them over in the 1960s. Legg Bros did a Mobile service taking items to the local farming community and outlying villages too. Golbys and this was later taken over by Walter Wilson as they extended the shop.&#8221;<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Image courtesy of Eric Norton; after consultations thanks for updates to Derick Pearson, Jean Wiggins and others.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<\/p>\n<p>A Skilbeck postcard from about 1948, viewing Zetland Road towards West Road.
