A Memorable Junction
A Memory of Putney.
Whenever I look at old pictures of this junction, I think of a very modern-looking 1960s shop which had its address as its name: 'No. 1 Putney Hill'. Its (future) location is on the left of the picture ahead of the bus. I saw it every day when I got off the 37 to walk up Putney Hill to my school. I remember it as being a bit like a mini Habitat, selling gifts and items for the home, but I could be wrong. In any case, it seemed to me like the only really modern shop in Putney at the time.
My parents had their wedding reception at Zeeta's in 1945. As a little girl, I accompanied my mother to the old-style Sainsburys in Putney High Street (complete with payment kiosk), and later on got my school uniform at Cuffs. Strong memories - and very happy ones!

I remember this, I used to queue for the bus to take me up the hill to school 1965-1970, just to the left on the far side - I preferred the 98 - since it was the old RTW rather than the No 85 Routemasters. it avoided the scrum of 150 children all trying to get on the bus that got them a few yards closer at their destination - nothing changes doe's it - witness parking at your local supermarket.
