The local Whitakers department store became part of the Beales group as log ago as 1960, but it is only recently that the Whitakers branding has been dropped in favour of Beales. The building is a fine example of buff terracotta decorative architecture and dates from 1912. http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3084138
