No 33 Market Place, 2005
|
Number 33 Market Place was originally divided into east and west parts, having been the Buck Inn, with a central archway. At the beginning of the nineteenth century Ebenezer Abraham, a watchmaker, had the eastern half, but in 1834 John Foster Palmer bought it for £195. By 1866 Joseph Palmer had acquired the western part for £300. When Sowmans took over the Palmer's ironmongery business they were eventually able to acquire this property and built their new premises upon the site. They also stocked 'accessories for Bucks Lace Making' and in 1924 Reginald Whinnett was using part of the premises as a Lace Dealer.
Being business premises there are no records of persons living at Number 33 in the 1936 Register of Electors .
