Description: | Thomas Wright wrote in 1898: -Grayshott looks like a doll's village, not so much because of the size of the houses, but because of their quaintness
they are all new, having been erected during the last five or six years.
On the right we see Walter Chapman's post office in which Flora Thompson was working as Sub-Office Assistant at the time this picture was taken. In Jubilee Terrace next door are Prince the baker, Munday the greengrocer, and an off-licence run first by Upex and then Milton. Behind the tree is Deas the grocer's.
On the left is Victoria Terrace where Madame' Fanny Warr occupied four shops with her various businesses which, according to Flora Thompson in 'Heatherley', were advertised on the board as: Milliner and Costumier, Baby Linen and Real Lace, Lending Library (frequent boxes from Mudie's), Stationery and Artists' Materials.
Flora Thompson wrote in 'Heatherley' (her sequel to 'Lark Rise to Candleford') about her time in Grayshott 1898-1901.
