My Grandfather was Bernie Leggett.
Gates shop was the hub of the village and all of the children would love to go there to buy their sweets 4 for a penny black Jack’s and many others . Great memories .
Percy Jeffrey is my great-grandfather. We have this photo at home along with many others 🙂
I remember Mr Gates he had a the village shop at the top of New Road, on the corner he usually wore a cream linen jacket with a pocket hankie, the shop sold everything but especially every sweet and chocolate on the market especially Spangles in all flavours an Aladdin’s cave.
