In the following photograph Robert Johnson is aboard a charabanc with a collection of fellow grocers who are off to an exhibition. In the 1939 Register the family are living at 38 Raby Road and Robert (aged 53) is described as a 'retired grocer'. Elsie is a grocer’s assistant and may have been still working in the Grange Avenue shop, though it must have had a new owner at this point. Constance (Connie) was working as a tobacconists assistant, presumably in Forshaws tobacconists on Stockton High St. Dorothy was a typist in a wire manufacturing company.
