Martin Way, Morden

I wonder if anyone can still remember me, I was born 1941 in the back bedroom of the flats at 47b Martin Way above Millers butcher shop. I still say today best years of my life, the shops along that parade where, Unwin's off licence, Alan's greengrocer, Millers butcher shop, small library, Lynne's ladies hairdresser, Partners provision shop, also last shop was Job's dairy, a bit further up the hill was a small newsagent's called Whittakers or Bixleys, then a baker's shop with post office, it was owned by Mrs Trustlove who lived over the shop. Going the opposite direction was a boot mender's and I can still remember the lovely smell of leather, next door was newsagents called Clarke's, then a small Co-op, then there was the Boy's Club opened by Frankie Fawn, crossing over the road which is Ashridge Road was Maxie's cafe, Quike's knitting shop which was owned by two sisters, Finch's estate agent, Mr harding's iron monger's, hair dresser, them Mearin's lovely bike shop right next to Meartune court flat's, over the road was Doctor Elliott's surgery, then further down toward's Cannon Hill Lane was Liever's iron monger's, a fish and chip shop, I can't really remember the rest of the shops. Where the Fina garage is now was waste ground, could have been a bomb sight, opposite was St James's church, I remember seeing lovely Christmas pantomines there. I do hope someone will see this and add some more. Cheers to all.
