Fletcher and Sons used to stand in London Road. Fletcher's way was named after the firm when it was built in 2015.

​

It was built by Leopold Fletcher in the 1930s, hence Fletcher and sons. Charles was the youngest and Leopold (known as Tom was the eldest). Neither had a son.

​

"I am sure my grandfather Leopold would have been very pleased to see the road named after him -he died in 1947, " said Ann Fletcher.

​

There is a photo of the original staff in which some villagers will see some familiar faces.

​

Previously there was a gelatine factory in nearby Granta Terrace. Leopold bought the gelatine factory site in the 1930s and demolished the chimney himself.
