Yes it was Darlingtons. Gunstones was at the bottom of Duke Street I think and Granville Street my sister met her husband there.

Yes, Gunstone's was on the corner of Duke Street - see the Kelly's Directory scan  in post #8 above. Here is a scan of South Street in the 1965 directory.

Gunstones had a pork pie factory at the far end of Granville Street

Mr and Mrs Shaw lived in Frogget Village

Directories from the early/mid 1950s show "Alfred Shaw & Sons, builders'  ironmongers" at 26 Duke Street, above Gunstones. They had evidently gone from there by 1958.
