Muriel (Deer) and Bill live over the well-known
tobacconist and confectionery shop in the
Broadway. Muriel’s father, Ted, took over the
shop in 1930 and on his retirement in 1969
Muriel and her mother ran the business until
she too retired.
Bill, born in Tipperary, served in the RAF at
Wyton as Traffic Controller. He met Muriel over
a cup of tea when she visited Wyton on Sports
Day, and they married in 1951. Together they
still run the shop but have now stopped the
paper round. In 2000 they celebrated the
shop’s 70th year in the family.

Formed in 1980 as the St Ives Majorettes they
joined forces with Huntingdon in 1999. In the
National Finals in 2000 at Rye, Charlote George
was selected to become a colour guard to
attend all the Federation’s functions, and the
girls won several trophies.
The troop is managed by Carol Levins and
trained by Charlote.
