Mrs Franklin as a young girl outside J W Wheatons general dealer's shop at 10 Blandford Place in 1925.
Mrs Franklin lived in Cornelia Terrace and had two sons, John and David.
Built in the early 1850s this shop at 9 Church St was still a private dwelling in1865, by 1873 it was a butcher shop owned by Thomas Gibson. Shown here in 1929 with owner Amos Paxton ( centre ) it was bought by the Chaytor Bros George, Harry and Neville ( Tommy ) in the early thirties.George had previously owned a butcher shop at 11 Sophia St. The Chaytors continued to trade ( for the last 20 years or so through Harry's son Graham ) until 2000. The shop is now run by Gordon Griffiths (( GRIFF), even to his mother apparently )) as MeatMart.
Amos Paxton died I would guess in the 1960s.
