Powell Cycles, the Homend
Image: © Bob Embleton Taken: 10 Feb 2011
Between the wonderful Wallers butchers and the Horseshoe Inn. Started in 1923 and passed from father to son. Pip Powell died in February 2010. I remember (back in the 1970s) seeing an acetylene bicycle lamp in the window of this shop - complete with water to drip onto the calcium carbide to produce the gas. http://www.ledburyportal.co.uk/portal/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=661:ledbury-shopping-in-the-late-1930s&catid=207:history&Itemid=128
