My 1st Cousin 1 times removed Beatrice (Beatie) Forster nee Carney owned and managed a Newsagents and General Store in Brunswick Village in the early to mid 1950’s. Beatrice actually lived in Lesbury Gardens, Wideopen with her husband George and mother Emma Carney nee Viney, Beatrice also had a son George. Is there still any one around that remembers this store or better still does anybody have photographs of it? Who knows with a big bit of luck one of you may even remember seeing me at around plus or minus 11 years old being in the shop whilst I was holidaying in Wideopen. Out of curiosity I have just googled Brunswick Village and it doesn’t look like a village now. The A1 used to run through Wideopen this was always called The Great North Road in those days. I see the former Great North Road is now the B1318. Lesbury Gardens and Rothbury Gardens do not seem to have changed much. I see the Cinima is now a Grocers and Bakery. I simply did not recognise much of any of it, to me that is sad. There again that is supposed progress for you. Alan.
