Frank Bran set up a fish, game, poultry and ice store in the 1910s which was taken over by MacFisheries in the 1930s. A little later it hosted a model shop run by Teddy Tuckerman. It is now Scrivens.

Edward Peat and Henry Badcock both ran chemist shops from here in the 19th century. While Henry operated the chemists, his wife kept a school for girls and boys above the shop.
