Hi,
It was opposite the pub called The Church Inn, the reason I am looking so hard for this place is because my Grandad worked right next door at number 119 Great Hampton street, so trying soo hard to get a pic of this place for my Dad.
Thanks
Lucy

Below is a 1950s map showing Copes Wine Lodge. at 120 Gt Hampton Street. Purslows Leather merchants are next door at no 119. In 1921 the establishment was listed as The Bodega Company wine merchants. Both this and The Bodega, in High Street were advertised for sale in March 1955.
The licence was removed in 1957. The Copes premises were sold for £3000. The premises were leasehold and in 1944 the ground rent was £75/annum.

my grandparents ran the bodega for a while, I believe it was after having run Copes wine lodge.
