Grade II Listed Malvern House became Junior Poon's Chinese Restaurant in 1992 in the former pharmacists built in 1845 by Sir Arthur Hallam Elton. The oil street lamp (out of shot) in front of the building was one of the first outside London. Prior to 1883 the chemist was Frederick Martin (1842-1883) succeeded by Thomas Grant until 1899 (when he turned to selling cars and cycles) and then From 1903 to 1931 Henry Shepherd. Boots were last to run a chemists from here. Interestingly both Martin and Grant sold microscopic slides on the side and in the 1881 census Grant is listed as 'visitor' at Malvern House so presumably learning his slide skills from Martin and taking over the business on his death.
