The Boots shop in North Road was built
c.1924.
In a picture of 1929 as seen in Phil Fry's second book it was used by a
jeweller; C.E.J Burton, a hairdresser; J.A Tonkyn and A Pearn; a
chemist. In 1940 it was in use by J.N. Last, also a chemist.
In 1929 the small single storey unit was owned by W.J
Tarr , a local
builder.
In this picture it is owned by Mitchell's Florist, the family still
live in Lancing
The blue bedford van is thought to be from 'Winifred Brown' the
florist in Crabtree Lane
"the chap on his bike at the crossing was an Italian who
worked at Typower as a
labourer" -JD
