High Street, Wheathampstead Back in 1994 the shop at 2 High Street was trading as J Busby Ltd Dispensing Chemists (established 1869). As with many formerly independent chemists it is now part of a national chain - in this case Manor Pharmacy. The term 'pharmacy' has almost completely displaced 'chemist' for such establishments over the last quarter of a century or so and younger people might well find the traditional name puzzling. To the left of that 'Homestead Property Services' has become 'Frost's' - still an estate agent's.
