Statement of Interest

J Thomas suggests that this was once the grocers shop, owned by James Pendreigh, however C McWilliam suggests "JP" stands for Pearson the developer. The Valuation Rolls note that James Pendreigh was farming at Harvieston Mains so it seems likely that he was the owner of the shop, where he may have sold his own produce. Many shop fronts on the main street were altered in 1901, however this one appears to be original.
