Shops in High Street, Cobham

Does anyone remember a children's clothing shop named Rosalind which was located on the same side of the street as the chemist which had a dentist's above it and near the La Capanna end of the High Street? I was taken in there during the 1960s for my clothes. Also I remember a small department store opposite (the name Gamages springs to mind but am not sure) which sold both women's and men's clothing. It was a lowish building but went back quite a long way and reminded me of Grace Bros from 'Are You Being Served'! Again this was the 1960s. It is now an office block I think.

RE: RE: Shops in High Street, Cobham

I remember Rosalinds, and being taken there as a child to buy clothes during the 60's. I remember a very fetching 'ladybird' make top. I think the department store was called Gammans or similar. Mum used to take me in there to buy ribbons for my hair.
