Yes it must be - thank you very much his name was Thomas Kinning and was there from at least 1910 to 1940- although he was in the Royal Engineers between 1902 and 1915 so not sure who ran the shop in his absence, if anyone . My dad and his siblings were brought up there. Not very good postcard picture below.View attachment 152757

I`ve been in that shop many times but for the life of me i can`t recall the name of the owner. He was a heavy smoker & kept the ciggy between his lips usually with an inch of ash just ready to fall off.!
