This photo brings back childhood memories for me also. My parents, Diane and Derrick Smith owned the store between '79 and '86. Behind the first door was the paper shed. Dad would sort the newspapers into their delivery rounds before opening the store @7am. I vividly remember dark, crisp mornings of wintertime, walking across that yard and entering the frosty windowed shed to load up my paperbag with the newspapers for my round.
The second window was a stable door, for my Sisters Shetland pony Meg.
The Blue door was the dog shed, and then the beer shed. Next were double doors, that secured Dads tool shed/workshop
The dimmly lit top shed was where we kept the pop and empties. Many times over those few years, I fought the incline of that driveway and gravity, as I wrestled a crate laiden two wheeled handcart downhill with full bottles and back up with the empties.
Good memories!

I hope the paraffin smell has dissipated from the 1960"s from the first part of the building in the picture.
There were three x fifty gallon tanks in there, to dispense into customers gallon tins, also bundles of sticks stored in there which we sold for threepence in the old coinage. In the early days we cut up wooden delivery crates and myself chopped into small sticks, packed into the threepenny bundles. Hell it was a cold job in winter months, NO fan heaters in those days!
The second window has replaced a door which was the Pop & Beer shed. In summer months it was stacked up to 10 crates high. Next was the coal house, then the garage, then the top shed had spuds and all the empty bottles & my rabbits.
What memories came back today!
John Decamps.
