Burt’s shop had 2 owners before Mr. Burt.    When we were early teenage, Mrs Cook kept the Station Road grocers, followed by Mr and Mrs Hannaford, followed by Mr Burt who moved here in 1949 ( his funeral  was 2 weeks ago, just short of his 100th).   It was through his brother, Jack (Mr. Burt in the Square) that he came down from London. Jack told him there was a business going  – he was doing greengrocery  on the mainland so he moved here.
Burt’s used to deliver out in the country, to Thorley.
