Bakery turned car park, Station Road, early 1940s
I grew up in Upminster (from 1935) and there used to be a great old stone bakery on the left hand side, going up Station Road. I think the owners were called Abraham. It was taken over by the council and torn down for a car park, very sadly. I remember that Mr Abraham then drowned himself in a nearby gravel... [more]

My dad Eddie had a greengrocer's shop in Upminster in 1952, the year I was born. I know we lived in the flat above the shop, and it was quite near Upminster Bridge. Does anyone remember the shop?

At this major junction of Cheam Road, Carshalton Road and the steep High Street, the splendid and ornate sign of the Cock Hotel with the Courage Brewery rooster mounted above sits in the centre. On the right is the three-storey shop of the bookseller and stationer's William Pile, whose interior exuded the rich aroma of leather bindings. Next door are the... [more]

Around Cheam, including Sutton, Ewell, Banstead and Epsom Photographic Memories
This marvellously detailed view of the High Street before it was transformed into a pedestrian precinct was taken from the first floor of the Cock Hotel. On the left, next to the Lloyd's Bank branch, is the fashion shop of Renee Shaw, with Fuller's tea shop, Dewhurst's the butcher's, and John's menswear shop further down the hill. Shinner's large department store... [more]
