Discovery Music, Grenville St.
Discovery was a music, record, and book shop on Grenville street, although this wasn't its original location. The shop had existed in a number of different locations over time, although the Grenville street site was to be the last one (In Bideford, at least).
The view below looks south-east, and a view looking in the opposite direction is shown in Illustrations of Old Bideford vol. 13:34. The second picture below shows a view of the desk (to the left) and the bookcase (right). To the far right of the main room (out of view here) there was a flight of stairs going down to the cellar. The third picture shows the desk. These pictures have been cropped from larger ones as the full-size pictures included people who probably don't want to be on the internet (although, I haven't asked them).
A view of the shop front is shown in Illustrations of Old Bideford vol. 10:36.
