In 1841 another family, the Horns, lived in the adjoining house, this property is not recorded ten years later and it is possible the Collingridges occupied that part as well. Around 1875 to 1877 G D Smith took over the shop and house, which apparently had a large Sun Fire Insurance advertisment on its north wall. Around 1893 Mr William Hipwell, the owner of the adjoining property (Westlands), gave £500 for the shop and house and then demolished them. He wished to build a gable annex to his house and have a garden wall sweeping around it. In the late 1930's, the garden area was offered to the Baptists so they could construct a front entrance to their chapel. |
