The Weeks Block, Mill Street South

This fine stone building is instantly recognizable to thousands of people in Flamborough and the surrounding area as once being the home of Weeks of Waterdown. The corner section of the block, constructed soon after Ebenezer Griffin’s purchase in 1821, was operated for 75 years as a general store by the Griffin Family. Location at the crossroads of trade and travel in the village probably ensured stable ownership as the building has changed hands only four times in the past 170 years – Eager Family (1880 – 1924), Weeks Family (1924 – 1972), and Smith Family (1972 – 1990) have operated a variety of general and hardware stores on this site.
