PhotographerPatten, LindaDescriptionThe shop was built in 1924. Many people may recall it being known as Massie's or Love's. The shop's first owners were Alex Massie and his wife, who served the area for nearly 30 years. After Alex Massie's death in 1960, his wife was unable to look after the shop herself so her grandson Bob Love took over. He and his wife Kitty ran the business for about 15 years. Then Des and Sue Ryan ran the shop for a further 22 years before it closed on the 16th November 2012.Physical FormatAsquith
