Most notable is 46, which still retains its early20th century shop front features. 38, 40 and 46 remain in commercial use today, whilst 34-36and 42-44 are now in residential use.7.6.13 A number of other commercial businesses were located within 2-32 Stockbridge Roadduring the late 19th and 20th centuries. Although no businesses operate within either blocktoday evidence of former shop fronts can be identified, particularly at no. 26 with its two largewindows on either side of the front door. Number 32 Stockbridge Road was also in commercialuse and operated as a butchers shop during the late 1800s. This building was probably singlestorey originally, but has had additional storeys added over time.7.6.14 Messrs Duxbury constructed 5-11 Stockbridge Road as three cottages and a shop in1900. It was later occupied by William Berry a boot, shoe and clog maker in 1911 (Barrett,1911, p.724). Although 5 with its flat roof was originally a shop, it now appears to have beenincorporated within 7, and is now in residential use.7.6.15 A small number of individuals living in the Thompson Street area were recorded to be incommercial trades and professions during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Both 2 WheatStreet and 24 Thompson Street have evidence of a former commercial use. In 1890 Atkinsonwas recorded as a grocer and tea dealer at 2 Wheat Street (Barrett, 1890, p.291). Today theground floor shop windows of 2 Wheat Street appear to have been partially blocked up, whilst24 Thompson Street has retained original pilasters and corbels. Its shop fascia, which wouldhave been situated above the ground floor window, has been removed as the property wasconverted to residential use.26 Stockbridge Road was originally occupied byClegg, a shopkeeper, in 1879 and remained incommercial use well into the 20th century (Barrett,1879, p.188 & Barrett 1923, p.765)32 Stockbridge Road was a butcher’s shop between1890-1899 (Barrett 1890 and 1899)24 Thompson Street80 heritage appraisal
