I was very interested to read Alan Mackenzie's letter of July 15 since I used to live on Ditchling Road and have a keen interest in Fiveways history.
I am lucky enough to have old Kelly's directories from 1930 and 1936.
Number 78 Stanmer Villas is noted in 1930 to have been resided in by Sheppard Jn.
In the 1936 edition, it is Sheppard Jn, cars for hire.
Interestingly, there is listed at no. 80a, a Sheppard, Wm Wltr.
This address does not appear to exist in 1930.
