In my youth this was known as Siop Marc as it was owned by Marc Parry, a quarry first aider and the O/C of the local youth wing of the St John's Ambulance Brigade. During the working week, the shop was run by Mrs Parry. It was one of Deiniolen's forty shops. Such has been the change in retail patterns that now only one store has survived.
