Grade II Listed, Susie's Dress Agency is 46 High street and prior to its closure in 2012 after 44 years trading Inmates was numbered 46A High Street. A photograph of G H Lynn & Son monumental masons taken about 1919-20 clearly shows 46 over the door of Inmates. So up to the early 20th century 46 and 46A were still one business but with two doors, presumably one to the showroom (Susie's) where stone crosses are visible through the window and one to the living accommodation (Inmates). Conversely, Nizam's number 42 is clearly marked in the picture as number 44 G W Wheatland Baker, as 42 and 44 have now combined to one business.
