This one looks to be like it could have been an Off-license situated on the corner of what was once called Station Road and Winchester Road, now known as Cranbrook Road.

The 1911 census identifies a Richard Hemsley as being there and described as a farmer and brewers agent.

As of 2019 it was trading under the name of Martins and is selling kitchen units.
