There used to be about 15 shops around UpHolland Village in the early 60s ranging from chemist shop to ironmongers - including several grocers or general shops. Only hairdressers now.

That Sandeman Port sign brings back memories. That was Mr Baxter's shop. I used to live on Tontine Road, and before that The Dell, up on Hall Green. I keep checking these old photos in case I show up someday...

Wonderful photo of my Dad’s shop and where I grew up. We lived in the flat above the shop and had a great playroom to keep us out of mischief whilst Mum and Dad were working.
