That's what I would write. I am fond of a semi colon but it seems superfluous in this text.

the word "members" does not need an apostrophe, but you do need a punctuation pause after "reputation". |

"Originally this road had a very affluent reputation; the shops catered for the members of society that had their town houses in the area."
Perhaps "Originally this road had a very affluent reputation; the shops catered for the members of society WHO had their town houses in the area."
I share the concern about an 'affluent' reputation. A reputation for affluence perhaps. |

Originally this road had a very affluent reputation, until Tesco opened a mile up the road. Now, aside from two betting shops, a chippy and Bargain Booze, all the shops have closed."
