In the late 19th century this was a draper's, and later a cycle shop. From 1907 it was a fishmonger's, owned by Thomas Pooley, until 1922 when it was taken over by the chain Mac Fisheries. (According to Kelly's Directory it was a Mac Fisheries in 1933.)

Mac Fisheries closed down in the 1970s, and the shop was taken over by Friend & Falke, estate agents — which has now merged with or been taken over by another estate agent, James Pendleton.
