JPS Stationers exhibition
JPS Stationers, 7 Market Square, High Street, Chesham, Buckinghamshire, HP5 1HG
Stationers and printers G.J. & A Smith started life in 108 Church Street Chesham around April 1890. The shop was soon located to 3 Market Square in 1894, but then relocated again to no.7 which had been the Post Office. Now named Smith Brothers the business was run by George and another brother, Herbert. 124 years later the shop still houses a family-owned stationers. Ray and Heather Williams will be on hand to talk about the history of the building and the businesses that have occupied it and there will be a fascinating display of local photographs and memorabilia.
The building itself, 7 Market Square, a timber-framed structure dating back to at least the seventeenth century, has been sensitively refurbished and the building works have been recorded by the Williams family.
