Newsagents High Street Shrivenham

We're not certain exactly when the newsagents in the high street started business, but we do know that Thomas Foard was trading from the premesis as a Draper, Tobacconist and Confectioner in the 1920s and we have a photo of him on his doorstep. From his tenure up to the present day it has been a busy shop. After Tom Foard came Wally Illot and this listing includes some of his printed invoice sheets various photos of the shop through the ages.
