Taken in the late 1800's This Picture supplied by Ian and Marylyn Lentern showing their shop back some time ago. The building has undergone some refurbishment after this picture was taken because structurally it is very different today. Can you fill in the blanks?
Nr 1 Chapel Street (originally Lady Street); 1800 Phillpotts - Confectioner; 1841 Alexander Hampton - Confectioner; 1870 Faull - Confectioner; 1879 Brighton - Butcher; 1920 or so Alterations to front - Boaden - Butcher; by 1939 Harveys - Butcher.... I should add that these are dates the businesses are known to exist, not necessarily when they started.
Looking at the dresses, and the fact that there is a Chapel Street Bakery, I would say 1910ish. Brighton s Butchers premises are looking weather beaten, and so would be a good enough reason at the time to re-build the front. Maybe a Ladies Band of Hope procession.
