Barrie ...is that THE Annie Parks of the sherbet lemon fame stood in the doorway? It's always nice to put a face to the name ...I feel I know her after the 'suspect' debate!
I think thats her stood to the right of the doorway with the glasses on if my memory serves me right. Shop frontage is just how I remember it to be
I worked in Richardson's Chemists in High Street when it first opened, 1970-1974, and I remember Annie's shop well.
1976 ??
Winnie,
The 1977 Queen would be crowned after the procession.
I suspect the vehicle is a Ford Transit pickup.
Quite right, Mk1 Ford Transit. Good for these jobs at the time. I Think 'elf and safety might have something to say about using them today. The lady sitting outside Annie Parks' looks like a lady who lived to the bottom of Grove Lane. She had calipers on her legs and was always very cheerful and happy. I think her name was Linda. Does anyone remember her ?
It wa# my husband john that drove that pick up and I look like the lady in the door wat but not sure
