Two Months at McColls

CHAPTER ONE

    There’s been a paper shop on Mill Road in Cromer since the 1920’s. When Cromer High train station closed, W.H. Smith moved their shop there. A few years later, a gentleman by the name of Stanley Hayward brought the shop, and expanded a great deal. Stanley retired almost twenty years ago, selling the business to the Paper Chain group, who later sold the shop to the Dillons group, until the shop finally fell into the hands of the Martin McColls group towards the end of 2005.
