The premises of J. Hewitt, pharmacist and photographic chemist, are prominent in this view of Ulverston town centre. It was a long established local firm but the business passed to J.N. Murray - a Barrow-based pharmacy chain - in 2002. For some reason, they elected to retain the old sign for a few years but it was finally taken down in 2007. Its replacement - with the new business name - was in a similar style. In 2017 the Murray business was sold to the Cohens Group - a national pharmacy chain.
