Lazy Corner Shop

This small shop was situated alongside Kelly the baker's at Lazy Corner and was located more or less at the top entrance into the car parking area in front of the present Summerhill Road shops.

Here Mr Clarke the barber also sold cigarettes and herb beer. It is assumed Mr Clarke is the gentleman in his shirtsleeves standing in the shop doorway.

Note the posters for Buxton's Amusement Resort on Central Promenade and also for the Grand Theatre and Picturedrome.

In the 1950s the shop was a greengrocers but was demolished as part of a road widening scheme in the early 1960s.
