Title: Corner of Market Street and High Street, Alton [Go to resource]
Description: View shows the High Street frontage of Boots the Chemist with a partial view up Market Street. This building is a redevelopment of a site which seems to have housed drapers businesses for the last 100 years or more - J C Jefferies, Holman, George and Walter Castle then in 1908 it became Charman and after that, Johnson. This site was known as Johnson's corner to Altonians but the shop closed after the death of Bernard Johnson in 1957. An archaeological dig took place inside the premises in 1977 before Boots opened their new shop in1980.
