37 and 39 Purvis Road Taken from Wilson Road in 1975
39 - G E Cave
In 1936 No 37 was kept as a general store by Frederick Croot, and in 1956 it was kept by F W Digby.
Rushden Co-op took over the premises and opened their 'No 20 store' as a grocery in 1960.
At No 39 in 1936 was Edward Cave, a draper, but by 1940 G E Cave had taken over with Radio and Electrial services, and he remained here well into the 1970s.
