My wife's family came from Deptford. Their family name is POOLE.
We know they lived in 5 Evelyn Place, Deptford in 1881 (from the census) and later had a butcher's shop at 168 Grove Street.
The son (my wife's grandfather) lived at 162 Grove Street and later at 125 Grove Street.
Her great grandmother had a sweet shop at 1 Tanner's Hill. See photo. This was taken in 1919. But we know nothing about it. If you know anything we would be interested to hear.
Kind regards
Glyn Wise
