This photograph was taken in either 1985 or 1986 and shows the area around Lower Froyle Stores. There are two main areas of interest:

1 The original Dwelling House that was connected on the left to a kiln and Malthouse. These two buildings were demolished in the 1920s and the materials used to build two cottages, one of which is visible on the centre left of the picture.
2 The shop front extension, originally built in 1908. In the 21st Century this was demolished. For more details and history of this area see The Shop in Lower Froyle (Map & Links).
