There is a foundation stone on the corner of the building http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3549935 which leads me to think that this was originally a Co-operative store. The separate shop down the road to the right http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3549939 could well have been a butchery or bakery department; old maps show that it is clearly part of the same development. The foundation stone is dated 1891. Update 2020: A former local resident has informed me that this was indeed the locoal Co-operative store.
