Bures Post Office
- before the Post Office it was a Pharmacist.
Some additional information -
Certainly the pharmacy was run in the late 1930s by a Mr Wilderspin
who lived at East Bergholt. His wife worked as a midwife taking
in to their home pregnant women for their deliveries.
As one of those Bures babies so
delivered (1939)
I can vouch for friendliness
of both Mr and Mrs Wilderspin as I looked them up one day at least
30 years ago in East Bergholt. On opening the door Mr Wilderspin
correctly identified my family from my appearance and his knowledge
of my great grandfather William Moss who lived at Hillside
bungalow on the Sudbury Road.
The pharmacy was subsequently
taken over by Ronnie Perkins whose wife (Marjorie) was the daughter
of May Cousins who with her husband Cousins ran the Eight Bells.
And May Cousins (nee Moss) was my grandmother's sister.
