Nos 2, 3 & 4 Market Place, 2005
|
Numbers 2, 3 and 4 Market Place, a row of small cottages, were approached under the archway between Numbers 1 and 5. Being small and not business premises they did not feature in the levies and trade directories, but two labourer's families were living there as recorded in the 1841 Census. Joseph Laybot, his wife Ann and one daughter lived in one cottage and Thomas Edmunds, his wife Sarah and teenage son and daughter lived in another
In 1888 Thomas and Samuel Partridge lived there and also John Knight. In 1936 the Partridge family were still at Number 4. Listed there were Thomas and Mary Ann Partridge, together with Earnest, Elsie and Albert Partridge. Emma Nichols resided at Number 2.
These cottages were renovated in the 1980's to form 'Janey's Fashions' which is a part of 'Allen's of Olney'.
