The farthest shop on the left was owned by my grandparents and I lived there until I was 3 with my parents, Ivan and Betty Robinson. They sold prams and baby goods. My mother Evelyn Betty McTurk did her hairdressing apprenticeship in the hairdressers next door, Maison Drayton, and continued working there for some years. I remember the parade of shops as being a very busy lively place.

RE: RE: JR Robinson And Maison Drayton

I remember your parents very well. My grandfather was Harry Marshall, the manager of Pinks, the grocery shop further along the Havant Road. My mother, Iris Niblett (nee Marshall) was a friend of Betty McTurk. I can remember going to a party in the flat above the shop shown in the photo. I also have strong memories of the fish and chip shop opposite which I believe was owned by Albert Francis.
