Former Ebor Food Store

Former Ebor Food Store

25 Ebor Avenue Mile End
Former Corner Store (+ Ghost sign on fence)

This site accommodated various corner stores for almost one hundred years. From the mid-1890s, when the shop was built, until 1913 the Fitch family owned and ran a butcher shop here. John W. Slater then owned and ran a grocery store on the site.
Albert Edward Hilder (b. 1892) bought the site in September 1920 and ran a general store here until his death in August 1943. In February 1923 he had married Elva Maud nee Topham (1900-1950); they went on to have four children. L.G. Shaw ran a greengrocery here for around a decade from the late 1940s, then Georgios Tsarouchas operated a grocer shop here from the early 1960s into the 1970s. For a time in the 1960s the store was known as the ‘Ebor Food Store’.
