Does anyone remember this old Grantham shop?

It was my great grandfather’s and I’d love to learn more about it.

    Hi Yvonne,
    Going by the name on the photo G.Hackney it looks as if he started his career as a baker as an assistant baker at 29 Swinegate Grantham working for John Johnson(Baker/Confectioner) and family as per 1901 census.But this is not Johnsons shop as far as I can tell.Do you know approx year it was taken?
