MIRRORING the growth of Whalley as a shopping centre is Fenton’s super­ market, George Street. Started as a one-man business in King Street in 1921, the shop has grown until it now employs a staff of 15. When alterations at present in progress are com­ pleted, the shop will cover 3,000 square feet—but the aim of Mr Bill Fenton and his son, Jonathan, is to maintain the personal touch for their customers. The store boasts a wide
