B. H. JARVIS SHOP
Meeching Avenue shop
By Christopher Jarvis
My family moved into the shop mid-1940s from London. I was born in 1948 in the flat above the shop, my brother Peter was born there in1950. The family moved from the shop in 1951. The first picture shows my father standing outside - notice the anti-blast protection on the windows. The shop sold sweets, tobacco, stationary, and 'fancy goods'. Another picture shows my mother behind the counter and the third picture shows some the stock.
