The Army stores on Matlock Green,  a family business from around 1938 closed September 2002.
Now a private dwelling.

Nice photo OC :)
I started out with nothing and I've still got most of it left.

Going back in time.
This is the first photograph we have of this shop.




At some point in time in then became a Men's Ware shop until 1936 when hubbies father bought the shop (and it became Matlock Green Army Stores) the house to the right of the shop and also properties to the left of the shop.

We 'think the lady standing in front of the shop top photo is Hubbies grandmother.




When it was  sold a few years ago the shop and property to the right was then turned into dwellings - flats I think.
This is as it is now.
