These shops are in Ongar Parade, Rowhill, near Addlestone. The trades reminded me of the old rhyme: "Rub a dub dub Three men in a tub Who do you think they be? The butcher, the baker, The candlestick maker, Turn 'em out, knaves all three!" I wouldn't want to turn them out - I am glad to see these useful shops in a suburban parade, and am glad they have survived the spread of supermarkets.
