I know it's a bit out of our area but Pride and Clark Stockwell Road Brixton; a mecca for motorbikes spares, three wheelers,and apparently first importers of Toyota? The whole row of shops identified Brixton in the 50's and 60's.

Got me thinking about shops that you thought wouldn't survive but are still there? An example , the junk shop at the bottom of Greenwich South St as you come into Greenwich from Lewisham. Used to visit it on the way home from the Valley in the 60's. Hasn't changed a bit!

The Prince-e-Paul

Supermarkets i worked in whilst a schoolboy (80's).
Presto, International, Gateway, Liptons.
