Devonshire House, Church Street

Description

This building appears to have served as Tuckers' wine merchant business until the 1940s. The two shops on the street fronage are the Sweet Nook Confectionery and P Hosking, Watchmaker, and directories would suggest they operated next to each other for a short time around 1950. At that time Devonshire House was a boarding house run by Mrs Clark. The Police Station, built 1939, can be seen to the right.
