🎈Bonus feature
The building takes its name from a prominent grocer – J.J. Mack & Sons – historically located on site and destroyed by a V2 rocket strike in 1945. Mack was a market trader whose career started with a humble street barrow and grew to the impressive corner fronting store – photographed here.
