Watling Avenue Ww11

A Memory of Burnt Oak.

I remember Tonis Ice Cream, Rosins the Baker, Genners toy shop, Pegglies Bike and Sports shop, Endines for Leather, Wilsons the Green Grocer and the long line ups for those ever so rare oranges, Watlings the tool shop and of course the Co-Op.
I remember the shot down Messerschmitt displayed at the corner of Watling Avenue and Orange Hill Rd opposite Watling Park. I was able to sit in it because my mother bought a savings coupon.
One of the Market Stalls on Watling Avenue belonged to the Dunbrant's they sold material.
Sitting in Ottawa Canada 60+ years later these are fond memories.
