Pilton Stores has closed its doors after more than 100 years as a grocery shop and delicatessen. Latest owners Heather (in the centre of the picture with flowers) and Geoff Dwyer (unfortunately away on the day) retired on Saturday 12 January 2013 after running the shop since 1989. A large group of Pilton residents gathered just before the final close to say ‘farewell’ and present Heather with flowers and a gift. The closure brings to an end an important era for the community of Pilton. The village stores, which has been one of the focal points of the community, will be sorely missed.
