Date:1965

Description:A view of the plumber’s buildings, taken from the yard of the house opposite.

The square access arch no longer exists, the wall having been rebuilt with two separate doorways. The buildings once housed Grosvenor's wheelwrights business. By 1841, Benjamin Grosvenor was a wheelwright, as was Robert by 1881. At the time of this photograph, it had been a plumber’s business having been used by the Cotton and Grattage families for this purpose. By 1962, the building on the left was a Post Office with Mrs Colleen Edmonds as Postmistress.

It is now (2025) a private residence. The building with the tall chimney has since been converted to a bungalow known as 'Cooper’s Chimney'.
