This group of men are standing outside
James Pickering's shop (with thatched
roof)at the top of Pickering Market Place.
It is now the site of Horsleys butchers
shop. From the left they are: Fred
Pickering (barber), James Pickering
(grocer), J. Berriman ( a carrier from
Cropton) and John Pickering (son of James)
They are pictured prior to 1912 as later
the shop was owned by T. Johnson, who
removed the thatched roof, replacing it
with pantiles, and altered the shop front.
The reason Fred Pickering has a bucket is
that he is about to cross the road to the
cast iron water stand pipe in order to
collect his drinking water.
