Not much to this one, but it's fairly local to me. I was passing it on the way home and had been before and looked at it about seven years ago. To be honest I was shocked to see it still standing as the owner was meant to be selling it for development with a few houses put on the land. I can't even find a name for the place or any clue in the building. It was a small family fun business with just a small shop. With one large greenhouse adjoined to it. To the side is a smaller greenhouse used fr growing and potting up, and their are a few sheds next to it. I was looking through my old photos and noticed how many items had been taken from the place, which I imagine was the owner as they live opposite. But with the roof going it's starting to rot in side a bit now.

I remember this place from about 20 years ago, we used to stop there for a wee and a leg stretch when travelling from Lowestoft to visit family in Cambridge, sad to it like this now but nice photos and a fun little explore

Nice to see someone who had been in here. I can imagine it was a tiny little place.

Back in the late 1970s I would chat away with George Davey the owner , very busy garden centre back then, unbeatable prices back then. He used to travel to the Netherlands via Dover regularly to replenish stocks. His daughter Serena worked for the family business as a Horticulturist, his son Colin was involved in the horse racing scene as I remember . Anki.
