Description: | The Stores has several adverts on its walls for Colman's Starch, Nestle's Milk and tea with an advert for Ices in the window. It sold every conceivable item of general grocery, all of which could be delivered free to your door by bicycle. The Stores stood by the crossroads of the Main Road from Fareham to Portsmouth with Station Road and Castle Street. It was owned by the Meatyard family from 1910 and before them by the Webb family. Main Road does not exist on present day maps of Portchester. West Street replaced it and this area is now much altered by the building of a pedestrian precinct.
Beyond is an advert on a building for Michelin Tyres, the beginning of mechanised transport.
