Wessex Tea Rooms Dorchester

[Maggott]

Good evening
I am cataloguing  a collection of letters which includes reference to the Wessex Tea Rooms.  They were written in 1930s.  I wonder if any Dorset expert could let me have the full address (Google gives 2 current addresses, but I realise that these may not the one I need).  Also (big ask!) the name of the people running it?
I should be grateful for any help

1939 Register for that address has Tom F Rawnsley, cafe proprietor

ADDED
Married 1937 in Pancras so maybe too late.

Lots of references to the Dorchester Chess Club at the Wessex Tea Rooms during the 1930s.

Also this from "Secret Hiding Places - The Origins, Histories And Descriptions Of English Secret Hiding Places Used By Priests, Cavaliers, Jacobites & Smugglers" by Granville Squiers

"In an old house on the main street of Dorchester, part of which is now the Wessex Tea Rooms, a curious find was made a few years ago ..."

Still looking for a proprietor.
