3 Short Street, the Short Street Store (1884)

Short Street is the small one-way street connecting Central Street and High Street at Lords Square. It crosses behind the service station which now sits approximately at the former site of Asa Lord’s store. There is only one building on Short Street and it has never been torn down or replaced. In the first half of the 20th Century it was the home of Marcorelle Brothers. Before that it is said to have been Asa Lord’s barn. Today it is a fine-looking building that houses three businesses.

Across Lords Square from this building are the Payne School and the Old Fire House.
