Moving to Cawson in 1937/8 Mr & Mrs
Wesley Riley took over the grocery shop situated opposite to
the Westleyan Reform Chapel in Chapel Street, the shop
had a good selection of all foodstuffs as well as fruit and vegetables and
a small room at the back for children’s clothes and all sorts of gifts such as
imitation jewellery, children’s books and annuals and toys etc. In later
years the shop was ran by their son Harold and daughter in law Gwen until about 1980 who
also had the shop at market hill and a fitted out mobile shop
including a tank for the sale of paraffin which was driven by Harold and went out six days a week delivering orders for many miles around.
