RE: RE: The Pub
I worked in that toy shop round the corner. The old lady had a little dog called Pickles, that I had to walk down the 'rec. The old lady went nuts in the end. She put a £1 note in the window of her shop claiming that her picture should be on the note and not the Queen's. I was only 10 or 11, I lived in Gravel Hill, right at the bottom. I also worked for a tailor's shop that was right up the top of the hill. I played in that little stream near where they built the fly-over. There was also a little sweet shop near the infants school that I went to, coming from Gravel Hill end. Mrs Routledge was the first lollypop lady to cross the kids across the busy A2 near the Black Prince. She is still alive, about 88 and lives in Australia.
