Documents at the Surrey History Centre show Henry Holden was a grocer in Guildford in 1874-1875. By 1889 it looks as if one Charles Holden, most certainly his son, had inherited the business. Maybe some local history book or old photographs (but I didn't see any online) could tell us more about this grocer?
Holden had this wall painted on three occasions. The two older layers, in black letters, spell:
