Tumtingle, From what i remember a chap called Percy cant think of his other name but he was an opera singer in the 1939s- 40s , He had lived in London for quite awhile untill he retired, He sang with the band a couple of times, His name will come to me soon,

Winnie you will be right about Thomas Jameson living in the house as Manager of the shop when first built but Tommy lived across the road in the 40/50s but was still the manager of the shop or it may have been his son, as a man by the name of Tommy Liptrot lived in the house know him very well a good Fisherman and helped us young-us out with giving us his leftovers from his match fishing
