Date:1902 - 1903 (c.)
Description:During the 1890s, this building doubled as both a village store and coffee house, serving the village of Oakamoor. It must have been quite a novelty for such a small village to have a coffee house; one can easily picture it full of Victorian women discussing the issues of the day over a pot of fresh coffee. Pictured are Mrs Tipper and her son Clement in the doorway, shortly after it was opened as a store and coffee shop, with a reading room upstairs. Babies and small toddlers of either sex often wore this type of 'dress' whilst in nappies for easier changing. This image is featured by kind permission of the Churnet Valley Railway.
