People/Subject
Duckworth's (store)
While there was a Duckworths' Store in Fort Langley for a time, the Duckworths' in Langley Prairie was located in two units in the Lyttleton Building on Fraser Highway before moving to a stand alone building farther east on Fraser Highway in 1938. Duckworth's later had a store in Cloverdale, too, but closed in 1973 because of the competition from national chain stores. Auld-Phillips took over the space and concentrated on the sale of ladies clothing.
