Maranto's Image is a family owned restaurant in Lark Lane occupying a Victorian Grade-II listed building. During the 19th century the buildings now housing Maranto's were in use by such diverse occupants as a chemist, a plumbers merchant, hosier and a mission chapel. During the 20th century it was put to popular use as a cocoa rooms for local workers and their families, a launderette, skating academy and after the great war, as premises for a motor company. A child welfare centre and an antique dealer occupied the building during the “swinging sixties” and, prior to the refurbishment by Maranto's in 1983, the site was used by a manufacturer of window blinds. http://marantoslarklane.co.uk/about-marantos/
