Where is Botterille Parade? Do you know?
No idea Maureen, obviously it was, at one time, in the High Street. I would think it was the name of a parade of shops.
We think Botterille’s Parade was where the Jolly boys cafe was. Next door to the cafe was spare ground where they kept chickens during W.W.2 .
This was our grandfathers shop I was born on the Island in 1944 to Ruth Coe nee Botterill.
