Moss, the newsagent and Cocksedge the tobacconist. On the extreme right is the shop that was Coggeshall's first post office and telephone exchange. There is a 'Telephone' sign outside, just visible here right at the edge of the photo.

Comments
By Rosemary True: Mrs Cockshedge was the mother of Eileen Prentice and lived above the chemist shop until her death. Mrs Cockshedge would have found it impossible to get down the stairs at the chemist but loved to sit at the bay window above the bank(also owned by Eileen and Stanley) watching the village life.
It was her money that helped Stanley who went to Stoneham Street School.
Eileen was the only child of Mrs Cockshedge I seem to remember. By Angela Moore (nee Prentice): I remember Mrs Cocksedge as she was my Aunt Eileen's mother.I recall her sitting in the bay window where she also helped pack my Uncle Stanley's famous hand cream.
