42 Upper High Street Taunton

[Leith Lass]

Can anyone tell me the type of establishment was registered at 42 Upper High Street, Taunton around 1925. Thank you

In the 1921 census it appears to have been a large house (11 rooms).

A "roomy corner residence ..........with extensive frontage to The Crescent" per a 1945 sale notice.

Must be the house on the corner here:

added: it’s gone now, there’s open space on that corner.

Thank you for your replies. In 1925 a relative was listed as being born there. His name was John Wallis and his father was Charles Herbert Wallis. The mother Sadie Allerton was also listed at this address. I know she had been a housekeeper at some point and may be in 1925 she was a housekeeper there ??

When you say ‘listed’ at the address, what sort of document are you referring to?

[Leith Lass]

 I am referring to John Walis' birth certificate Dec 1925

Sorry Wallis

Is this the John Wallis birth registered Q1 1926 Taunton mmn Macey? I can't see any other candidates.
