Built in 1895 and used for 100 years as a bakery and shop, ‘W.J Pitcher’, Avenue House holds a wealth of history. During this time, every corner house on Albert Road was used as a shop, which ranged from a leather shop, sweetshop, farrier, and bakery. These corner houses were larger than the other houses in the road, with owners working downstairs in the shops and having their living accommodation upstairs. The Bakehouse (at the rear of the Avenue House) was sold in the late 1980’s and converted into a family home.
