32 Suffolk Parade (formerly 16 Suffolk Parade South)During the 1840s this was a lodging house and many visitors were reported as having either arrived or departed from here in the local newspapers. In 1850 Edmund Hands lived at these premises and 11 years later, at the age of 70, it was reported that he and his wife Patience continued to run it as a lodging house. After this the property seems to have remained residential for a while but by 1875 George H. Palmer, the ironmonger was based here. Whether he ran it as a shop is uncertain but by 1881 he had moved to 27 Suffolk Parade.
 1920
In that year a milliner named Elizabeth Wright was at number 32 and this trade continued here, later under Miss Strange, until about 1905. There followed another change when Mr M. Linton opened a newsagent and stationers at these premises from about 1915 to 1920 and then again with the arrivals of Madame Carter, followed by Mrs Mary Ann Bennett & then Miss Bamford, who were drapers and dressmakers.
In about 1930 this became Mrs M.A.Batten's ladies outfitter and by 1935 Mrs Bennett's corset shop. She was here until the early 1950s and in the middle of that decade this was a shoe shop. By the mid 1960s there was another change and antiques were being sold here.
In the 1980s the shop became a takeaway food outlet called Take 32 and later Monty's. The culinary theme has continued in recent years, as this became an Indian and Bangladeshi takeaway food shop, first called Mumtaz, then Curry Craze and then Spice Fusion.
