postcards. advertisements etc. The firm was founded by Mr.F.G.Harris
who purchased a retail grocery business from Mr. W.E.Jones in 1927.
In 1939 Harris & Sons opened a wholesale section, taking over the
business of Burgess Stores (Godalming) Ltd., (the Album contains a plan
and elevation for an addition to the Hindhead warehouse). The retail
business expanded rapidly and in 1949 a site was bought in the Headley
Road, Grayshott, previously occupied by Gamer & Puttick, decorators
and plumbers. In 1952 after the death of the Founder, an illustrated
booklet was published to celebrate the firm's Silver Jubilee. The New
Grayshott Food Store was opened in the Square in 1970. In 1977 another
brochure was issued to celebrate their Golden Jubilee. Finally in 1981
the business was purchased by Archer Perkins who moved the store to
Farnborough, having sold the Headley Road site to developers who built
the Summer House Court flats thereon.
