MERL Miscellaneous note-Georgia Charitou- 27 October 2014- This collection of tools 96/81-96/90 belonged to the donor's father, George Ernest Brown, and grandfather, Charles Lesley Brown. The Browns were a well known family of shop keepers in Bramley. The business was started by Mrs Monger's great- grandfather, also George Ernest Brown, who moved to Bramley to Sonning in c. 1898. He set up a shop selling promisions, bread etc. He kept pigs and sold bacon. The shop expanded and became the principle supplier of goods in and around Bramley. The shop continued to run until the 1960's. The premises have since been converted to offices. Mrs Monger's father, George Ernest Brown, ran a petrol station in Bramley from 1958-1979. The premises are now used as estate agents.
