There is a retail unit with the word 'Duxbury' above it and I am very interested in finding out more about this as Duxbury is my maiden name. I know the current owners of the shop have nothing to do with this sign and they inform me that "it has always been there". If anyone has any information or can point me in the right direction I would be grateful.
Thanks
