Yes your right gerald. Those shops are now houses.
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.

Mini 1000..Bedford TK "looks like BT truck" and Cortina mk2.
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.
