Search for Image ID "" Howards Stores, run by Repton Dixon, decorated for the 1953 Coronation. On the north side of Church Road - the shop has changed, but [in 2012] the wisteria by the side of the window is still there. The corrugated iron building beyond, advertising Howards Stores, was the original agency for Barclays Bank on the island. The bank soon moved into the house on the far side. In 1953 Mrs Burrell lived in the house and the tin building was her garage.
