  • This display represents Basil Jones' grocer's shop as it would have appeared in the late 1940s or early 1950s. All the stock and fittings are original items from the shop except for the shelving - these are modern replicas of original fixtures which are still on the premises. Henry Denner was the first to open a grocer's shop at 58 Cross Street, but he is only recorded at this address betwen 1868 and 1871. Basil Jones took over the shop in 1906 and set himself up in business as Abergavenny's
