Pharmacy (Former) c.1920-Current
The unassuming shop built in c.1920, is simple in form. Early photos suggest it was a “Chemist” shop.
In the 1960’s the shop was the location of the Porter & Efford Pharmacy.
Mrs. Esther Efford was a poet and self-published a book of poems about Beverley entitled “Twice Seen” with drawings by her son, Sam Efford.
In the early 1970’s a lunch bar selling takeaway foods was opened by Maggie Barrett-Lennard and others. ‘Robyn’s’ opened in 1976 selling a ‘wide range of fashionable ladies and children’s wear’.
Since then the shop has been a second-hand bookshop, a dog grooming enterprise, a pie shop, a café named ‘6304’, and a beauty salon.
