on 16 Nov 2018 Jim Coleman said In the 1950's, Holman's was a thriving sweet shop, where I used to buy sweets on my way to and from the old Sandown school. I think they had a wholesale sweet operation next door. Susan Holman was in my class at Sandown. Tempus fugit!

It was then passed down to her son (my great grandfather) Henry Guy Holman, who then passed it down to his son, Frederick Guy Holman (my grandfather) Fred's daughter is my aunt, Sue Holman (now Rochefort) My mother, Wendy Gardner (was Holman), Sue's sister, would love to see any more pictures of Holman and Sons confectionery shop or her any other stories, if anyone has any, please :)
