These two shops have been in the Burrage family for many years. The wet fish shop was on the right hand side and the left hand shop was the fish and chip shop. Samuel Burrage started the shops and Fred took over before emigrating to Australia. The shops are both now closed and the houses seem safe but the whole area behind has new houses in 2023.
