The shop entrance was on the right and the door on the left, now bricked up, opened into the 'front room'.

At the back was the shop storeroom which contained a beehive shaped brick bread oven where villagers could have their meat roasted for one penny. Outside was the tall chimney for the oven.

There was a wooden shed between Nos 27 and 25 where the horse and cart used for deliveries was kept, this has now been converted into a garage.
