Photographed from Church Road, the plaque above the doorway to number 10 The Highway reads '1877'. Prior to this date, according to the surveyor's schedule from 1851-2 for the 'Abstract of levelling from Warrington to Pembroke Docks, through Chester, Flint', there was a 1GL '[bench]Mark on large stone at door of Ann Williams's house, opposite road to Hawarden Church'. Clearly 'Ann Williams's house' has been demolished. A Francis Frith photo from 1903 https://www.francisfrith.com/hawarden/hawarden-the-village-1903_49658 shows that the shop on the left was already a chemist's at that date. The Gallery Coffee Shop is more recent, but equally useful.
