When I moved into Rainham in 1960 (as a young boy) the Butchers was still there. As was a greengrocers, the post office (near the Beacon) the News Agents and at least one other confectioners/bakery shop(?) plus the seed merchant where the petrol station now stands

That butchers in the 1930 picture is on the corner and became "High's", then the green grocers and then, in the terrace was Mr Bear's post office, before it moved up towards the Belisha Beacon pub, the other side of te terrace was Miss Buxton's grocery shop.
Late 1950's
