Shopkeepers

Explore Royston’s Victorian High Street through the business owners who kept the town ticking over.

The chemist, the grocer and the cobbling shoemaker. All these businesses, and others, supplied important provisions for rural town life, when travel to a city would take much more than jumping in the car. This exhibition looks at the businesses from Royston’s Victorian High Street, some of which survived into the 20^th Century. Get to know the owners and their way of life. Come in, we are open!
