  • Higgins and Jones (where may you ask?)
    Yorkshire Grey (sorry PBS)
  • Has anyone mentioned John Menzies?
    And Martins? Was a small chain of newsagents from memory.
    David Greig was the one I remember as a kid it used to have these pots or cans on wires above your head and they used to whizz round the shop never knew what for, carrying money I guessed at the time.
    Was there a Liptons or was that a brand?
    I'm beginning to feel older by the minute on this thread...which come to think of it is exactly how this ageing business works ;-)
  • Cuffs of Woolwich
    Mr Byrite
  • Borders bookshop.

    Several Computer repair shops seem to have gone kaput.

    Doggy Style (a poodle/dog salon in Kingston - this one could lead onto a new thread about fab shop names.)

    not forgetting C&A (Got one of their suits in the wardrobe but can't get into it at the mo.)
  • Male Call, the place to get your farahs. Didn't they kit the teams out in the 80s.

    You kay have one of their suits in the wardrobe, I've got one of their staff in my bed!!!! I was the saturday porter and she was the saturday receptionist in Lewisham C&A's about the time they had the "Man at C&A" Ad campaign. Celebrate 30 years marriage and 35 years of going out this year .. now just before Valentines day isn't that romantic!!

    I don't know if any one here knows Paul Hines but he worked there too, full time I think, last time I saw him was in the away end at Old Trafford when we won!!

  • Queensway/Harris Carpets/Harris Furnishings/General George Carpets/Ross Carpets/Mad Max Carpets/Carpetland/Brown Bear Furnishings/Poundstretcher....Times Furnishing which someone mentioned was taken over by Harris Furnishings in 1979. I nearly bought Booers in 2005...sad to see the owners pack up without passing the legacy on.....nearly 100 years of history.

  • [cite]Posted By: ValleyGary[/cite]Prime Time Video, havent seen one for years.

    Weird you say that because there's been one in Blackheath for years but it closed down this week.

    Good job too as I've had a £14 outstanding fine for the last 3 years!
    I hope that wasn't what finally put them under...

  • The Charlton club shop in a caravan/trailer in the car park at The Valley, behind the old Grandstand.
