The High Road c1960
Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

We moved to Wanstead in 1968 but I still remember going in to the toy shop and my mum and dad buying me a matchbox mini car toy with a black roof, red front, yellow doors with spots on and diamonds for its lights. I also remember going in to the big Co-op store which would have been one of these shops in the picture. It was cold in there, lots of freezers and it makes me think of Ski yoghurts, because Nana Bennett used to buy them for us. If you looked up at the ceiling it was black and there were pipes. (I think!)
