The Bungalow Stores

Helmdon's last surviving shop is the Bungalow Stores (known affectionately by most village residents as Secky's).

Starting at Harold Seckington's home at 10 Station Road (now re-numbered 40) with the sale of papers, a demand for provisions soon followed.  For a while the business was run from their front room but in 1957, Harold and his wife Jean moved to the Bunglow stores - the storerooms being added by Eddie franklin.

The shop in mentioned in an article by Ross Vicars on Shops in Helmdon from Aspects of Helmdon no.5.
