J W Coombs' Cycle Shop

Category:

Sonny Coombs is first recorded in 1927 as selling cycles, motor cycles and accessories. He also owned the garage across the road where he arranged car hires and petrol sales. His son Bill was also involved in the business.

At times he sold newspapers and used to do a paper round. He also re-charged accumulators (batteries) at 6d each time. The shop is now a residential property.
