This album of old photographs shows the shops in East Meon in the early 20th century. The captions are largely drawn from quotations from interviews with Clara Fisher and
Margery Lambert. “The village had four bakers, three grocers, a paraffin and hardware store, a saddler, two butchers, two mills, wheelwrights, farriers, a post office, and even a fish and chip shop, as well as visits from ‘travelling shops’ selling fish and meat. Clothes, boots and shoes could be bought at one grocery shop (
Warrens).” Clara Fisher For a plan showing the locations of shops, pubs and trades in the early 20th century,
