APRIL 1986. COMMENT IN HALLMARK by the editor - PALMER AND HARVEY TO CLOSE
We had no idea that Palmer & Harvey were to close when we featured the history of the premises last edition. It’s only a rumour, but if planning application is submitted for houses on the site, it will be a sad end to the old tennis court. It’s not a pretty building, but very much part of old Lacey Green and an accepted building doing a very useful job in supplying jobs for village people. So if anyone asked us what is best for the community – 20 new houses or 20 local jobs – we should have no hesitation in saying the latter.
