I remember very well the giant tennis racket outside of Wards Sports. A little further down was a menswear shop Smart Westons, and what was the name of the coffee bar that was near to both of these shops? Romford was a clean, and enjoyable place to shop in those days. To see it now is very depressing.

RE: RE: Smart Weston

I think there were two coffee bars. One named Toni's (near the station bridge) and the other was called Como's. Brilliant days when a frothy coffee or a milkshake would be a real treat. I was born in 1947 and lived in Havering Road.
