Does anybody know the history behind the little store on the corner? Was it always a grocers? Who were all the owners? When was it actually built? It was there on the picture looking up Denby Lane listed on the Ghost Story page of the web site.

The rounded doors were always neat and it was a shame they disappeared. It was quite a thriving little business when I was a kid.

There must be a story or two out there....

" Mr Styles will be well remembered for his long association with the grocery business at High St Loscoe which he established in 1921 and from which he retired in 1946"

did you take your jam jar with a string handle and call at Jack's for a fishing net (just inside the door)and then down to the dam to catch a fish.

Not sure where my fishing nets came from but do remember the 2 pen'orth of kali. The stuff that turned your finger and tongue a virulent shade afterwards.
