14 Suffolk Road (formerly 7 Northwick Terrace)In 1851 a wine, spirit & hop (beer) merchant named James Morton worked from here but within a year this changed to a milliners shop run by the Misses Everill. A few years later, in 1857, James Morton, is once more recorded at these premises when his profession is said to be a 'traveller', which may imply that he had become a travelling salesman. Mr Morton seems to have reverted to the drinks trade, as by 1871 J. Morton & Co were trading here as wine merchants.
From about 1881-1909 a coal merchant called Gideon Caudle, who had a coal yard or 'wharf', in Upper Bath St, was in occupation here. He was succeeded between 1917 and 1934 when Miss Caudle lived here and no trade is recorded. The property then seems to have remained in residential occupation until at least 1970. Since 1990 Mike Smith-Wood has been based here, carrying out antique restoration. Updated: Stuart Manton (Oct 2019)
