North Finchley Memories
A Memory of North Finchley.
I well remember the Arcade Record Shop and went with my friends every lunchtime when I was at Pitmans College in Ballards Lane. We also used to go to look at the new arrivals in a shop called 'Tracy's which was near Priors (later called Owen Owen).
Priors was old fashioned even for 1959. When you paid for what you had bought the money went in an overhead pot which was sent whizzing across the shop to a central cashier. She would then send the change back in the same way. As children in the early fifties we used to go into Priors just to see this procedure!
