Libby and sister Sarah signwriting one Sunday morning.	The Boutique open.

The shop opened on 13th August 1977, selling handmade clothes and lots of unusual items. Libby, a keen horse rider, her sister Sarah Risdale lived in Avenue Road, Court Estate.

The shop at 17 Church Street closed in August 1981.

The property began as a commercial venture with Matthew Bates, followed by Cowley, Smith.

Alchemy and Sound & Video came next to this property. More recently it was part of SERVE, and has now been reverted to three little cottages. See Church Street.
