This was the Debenham saddlers and boot repair shop up until it closed in the 1980s. It was run for many years by Leonard Aldous who is the subject of a chapter in GE Evans' classic book "Where beards wag all" and may have been the inspiration for the character of "Horry Rose" in Ronald Blythe's "Akenfield".
