Samuel Green Carley established his grocery shop on the Market Hill around 1860. It was to become one of the foremost grocery businesses in the county. Regular customers had a gold embossed red account book, and had their orders delivered. The business became “Carley and Webb”, and traded into the 21st century with various changes, but sadly no longer. The photo quality is poor, but the only one available
The former “Carley and Webb” grocers, now split into two shops
