Hey!
Baddeley Grocer Stores then went to Stow on the Wold...There was also a shop called Horne's, which was to do with the family connection. I'm not 100% sure which was first (because they both occupied the same building) but i'm reasonably conifident that Horne's was first and then it became Baddeley Stores (i'm not sure when the shop closed down). My dad was a Baddeley, one of 5 boys from Stow on the Wold. The shop sign was still in existence until about 10 years ago. I actually have a picture of my dad and his 4 brothers stood underneath the sign in our back garden on his 50th birthday in 1991.
