Chapel Lane, which leads to the Baptist Church from the High Street, has changed much over the years. Behind Nos 97, 99 & 103 High Street, there was a nursery which was accessed from both the High Street and Chapel Lane. Behind this was No 95A High Street, which was accessed from Chapel Lane.(1971 O.S. map)

There was also a small general shop  which sold newspapers and produce from the nursery. Both the nursery and No 95A have gone now (2015) and been replaced by Nos 1 to 3 Chapel Lane.
