London Road
My mother, Muriel Lowrey, owned the Wool Shop at 185 London Road, next door to a hi-fi shop. I remember Eric Braund, who was a local postman. His wife Lilly helped my mother in the shop and Eric and I eventually formed a recording company called 'Group Four Recordings' and hired ourselves out, doing a fair bit at the Royal Festival Hall, I remember. Great days!! When we moved to London Road I remember I was finishing my days at the Italia Conti Drama School, based at that time in Clapham, and at the Royal College of Music - so it could have been about 1958/9. I also enrolled as a 'special constable' at Mitcham Police Station - I believe the crime rate soared during my tenure!!
Has anyone else any recall of the shop [now demolished] - perhaps an ex-customer?
