I Was Born in The Shop on Left Hand Side, White Fuller (Kent)
The shop on left hand side is White Fuller (Kent) Ltd, 68 High Street, Deal. My father, Cecil Prime, was the owner. Our mother, Phyllis, my brother John Prime and myself lived there. John and I were both born there he in 1948 and myself in 1947. We spent all our formative years here. I have been looking for photos of this building to include in a memory book for my brother's birthday. If there are any other photos around from 1947-1960 I would be interested. John joined the Royal Navy and retired as a Commander and now lives in Portsmouth. I worked at Pfizer, married David Wellard, moved to Hong Kong in 1972 and then to New York State in 1977. We retired to Florida in 1999. The building next door was Brown and Phillips.

I worked at Swaffields Laundry, latterly taken over by Lamberts Laundries, from 1944-1964 then left Deal to join the legal profession. Before the popularity of the electric washing machine we served hundreds of home and busnesses [including the Prime family] in and around Deal. I still shiver at the thought of serving premises on the sea-front in the 'perishing coldeaster' - Won't keep you a minute - just got to find me purse", "Cold ol' wind", was the cry of the locals.
