Whittington shops c1870

Looking through the old papers I found these
adverts in the Derbyshire Times 23 December 1871.
I didn't realise there was a shop at Mount Pleasant, where it looks like you could buy anything you needed.
The butchers advert shows the breadth of products that he suppled at Christmas.
Fletchers furniture warehouse selling anything from furniture to wallpaper and paraffin.
There was also a cobblers and a post office, you really didn't need to travel to Chesterfield for anything.
