My Mum Ran Comerford's Corner Shop

We moved south from Chadderton near Oldham in 1965. My mum had taken over running the corner shop that had been bought by Comerford's in their quest to own the entire block. All but one house has succumbed to their buying and even when we eventually left in late 1969 the neighbours were holding out. I was 10 years old and I went to St Mary's in Long Ditton and my brother to Ditton Hill Infants. I have great memories of Comerford's and the huge warehouses full of old bikes that we used to play on. I joined the Cubs mainly so we could play football and we won the Esher District football competition in what must have been 1966 or 67. I moved to the scouts and the new scout hut was built by the pavillion on Long Ditton Rec. Great rose-tinted days. Whatever happened to Comerford's?
