HENFIELD THEN AND NOW

18th July 2025
Mountain Ash House was bought by the Pattenden family in the late 19th century and was a baker's and confectioner's. In later years it became a hairdressing business owned by Charles Tyler, then a ladies' dress shop called Angelina's, and then Village Care. Village Care sold everything from cosmetics and toiletries to  jewellery, greetings cards and gifts, a passport photo service and self-service photo printing. The shop then changed to a teashop called Christina's.
