BUILDERS working on a new shop in Taunton have revealed a long-hidden shop sign.

Work is underway to convert the former Sovrins store at the corner of North Street and St James Street.

The renovation has revealed a sign reading Kingsbury's Stores - see the photo on this page.

Can you shed any light on what type of store it was and when it operated? Perhaps you'd like to share your memories of the shop. Email information to newsdesk@countygazette.co.uk or fill in the comment form below.
