Grant Brothers, Stuart Hunt & Ellis Kensington

Oh how wonderful to come across this site. I was born in Beckenham but worked in Croydon. My first job was receptionist at a solicitors office - Stuart Hunt & Co. - I met my first boyfriend there and there was a wonderful clerk who took me under his wing and he and his wife stayed in touch with my mum for a number of years. I also worked at Ellis Kensington in the Whitgift Centre. I remember Kennards arcade and the pony rides, Surrey Street Market, seeing the Everly Brothers, Jack Jones, Segovia and probably others I can't recall at the Fairfield Halls. My mum worked at the Davis Theatre on the switchboard and I'd often get the bus from school and go there to meet her after school. I got to see the Bolshoi Ballet perform and Eileen Joyce the pianist - I have a signed copy of her biography. What wonderful memories. Does anyone remember a boarding and quarantine kennel run out Wallington way I think? I worked there and would love to know whatever happened to it. I assume it closed many years ago. I loved it because if the dogs/cats were in quarantine we'd have them for 6 months.
