History 

Our first branch in Coxhoe was a rented property in Sanderson Street (but not on the present site), which opened in 1942. The first Pharmacist was Mr. Jack Oxley. Records show that this branch took £9 in its first week of trading.

1 Sanderson Street was purchased in 1949, and the Pharmacy relocated there. The picture shows Church Street in the 1950s with our 'Chemist' on the left at 1, Sanderson Street.

In 1961, the Grocery shop at 1/1A Church Street was purchased (the shop just left of centre in the picture). Between 1961 and 1963, extensive building works joined 1 Sanderson Street with 1 Church Street to form the present shop which spans both main streets. 1A Church Street was converted into the Pharmacist Manager's house. The Pharmacist at this time was Mr. Vernon Kirk.

In 1971, an Optical Department was opened above the Sanderson Street section of the property. Mr. J.W.Grundy Optometrist still has his practice there, and you can find out more about this on his website at [www.jwgrundy.co.uk].

In 1995, the Disability Aids supplier, Adapt-ABILITY was established in what had been the manager's house at 1A Church Street. Visit their website by clicking [here].
