The Spar Shop was built by James Milburn in 1901 with the financial backing of Mr Bowes Wilson – the house is actually called Victoria Buildings - and it remained a family business until the retirement in 2006 of his great-grandson Barry Milburn. James Milburn had started his business in the shop a little further down South Side, collecting groceries from Potto Station and delivering them to farms and houses. In his new shop he expanded into clothes, boots and shoes, which Milburns continued to sell until the 1970s. Farmers would buy work clothes here, at late night Friday openings.

In the days when there were several shops in the village, hard decisions had to be made. If you were given a shilling to buy cigarettes for your father and told to keep the change, did you go to Milburns where they cost 11d – leaving you with a penny – or to Barthrams, where they cost a shilling, but where Mr Barthram would let you look through the packets to find the cigarette card that completed your set?
