Pat Burt, Annette Haynes, Shops, Higginbothams 1950s

Higginbotham's now Marlborough House, dentists.

Higginbotham’s now Marlborough House, dentist’s.

Then there was Higginbothams shop; half was a drapers and half was a grocers.  He had a wooden leg, Mr Higginbotham the draper, Tim’s grandfather.  I used to go in there and buy cotton. You could buy material, all sorts, it was amazing what they kept in there.   Higginbothams was up the top where the dentist is now, in Marlborough House.
