D W Dovey Brass And Copper Shop
Does anybody have any photos of the old Brass & Copper shop "D & W Dovey" that was where the Sutton Fish Bar is now located? It was owned by my grandparents and they also owned it when it was the Betta Cafe at the time when the Rolling Stones were just starting out and used to pop by for a cuppa and an egg sandwich!!!
