Thank you Bill for all the information - I will pursue this further in Sands Directory The produce store was operating by c 1867 possibly before and could as you suggest have covered the whole site - storage and space to unload stock and for customers to load up could have necessitated a fair amount of space. Your details were particularly interesting - peeling back the layers and reconstructing the land/street scapes relevant to people we seek information about gives the history dimension - not just names and dates and strings of generations.
