Owner Alison Shakeshaft and her employees are now looking to find out more about the building, which was once a chemist called Jeyes.

A cafe spokeswoman said: "When we took on the building and discovered the writing we decided we wanted to unveil the history of this beautiful building.

“Restoring the windows was a labour of love and we are delighted with the results and the memories it has surfaced for many residents of Market Harborough.

“We have contacted Jeyes in Earls Barton - who make Jeyes Fluid and were a family of chemists - to see if it was their business.”

Anyone with information about the building’s history can contact the café on Facebook.
