Commercial Street - the travel agents was Turners Confectionary Shop. On the other side of the arch is the other family shop, which apparently also belonged to Turners until 1955. Through the arch little is now left but the site behind the PDSA was where the cabs for the Crowther family business were kept. The PDSA shop was also the pottery business belonging to the Crowthers (?) in the late 19th Century, it is where Fred met Annie, which is one of three marriages between the two shops.(?) The travel agents was the tanning business of Edwin Stansfield c1855, Audrey could still see the hooks for hanging leather in the attic. Edwin was David's Great Grandfather, Fred's Grandad.

The end of Commercial Street and the block where the Stansfield family boot and shoe business existed from c1840 to c1938. The famous owner was our relative Sowden Stansfield who is pictured at the door of his shop in the Brighouse trade directory of the 1890's, the number of the unit needs more research but is one of those beyond the Cheese Shop (superb cheese and wine in the cellars - real old Stansfield territory remembered from David's childhood). The family money from this business went
to the church (approximately £15,000).

Sugden's flour mill, soon to be demolished.

The offices where David's father worked for most of 53 years.
