In 1899 this was the College Dairy, which by 1901 was run by Sarah J Maxfield. In January 1905 William Minett of the College Dairy was convicted and fined £2 for selling watered-down milk but he seems to have survived the shame and was still advertising the sale of eggs here in 1910.
By 1917 the proprietor had changed to L.A. Evans, College Dairy & Confectionery. Lloyd Alfred Evans died in 1932, although his name still appeared in the directories for a while. His widow Laura carried on trading here as Mrs L. Evans, Confectioner, for many years. By 1961 this had changed to Smith’s Stores, Shopkeepers. |
