06. ALDISSWJ Aldiss opened a drapery shop in Norwich Street in 1872. The business expanded and moved to Upper Market where Hodgett had traded. In the late 1920s the shop was given an Art Deco Front and the business temporarily moved to the British School.
At the end of the last century, Aldiss moved its various shops around the town to its present Superstore in one of the Printing Works sites in Oxborough Lane. The building, leased to The Original Factory Shop, was destroyed by fire in 2014. Still owned by the Aldiss family happily it has been rebuilt in a Georgian style as a shop with apartments above. |
Now go through the archway to the Church. |
