My First Job

A Memory of Bromley.

If I remember correctly on the far left was the chemists, then the butchers, then Reekie's the grocery shop, then Wayletts the sweet shop and post office and then on the right a greengrocers. This could all be wrong of course. I had my first Saturday job in Reekie's stacking shelves, tidying the stock shed washing floors and even the pavement outside. I think I got twenty-five shillings for a days work which went up to 30 on my next birthday.
