Le Fevers And Coo Op Denson 'winkle Pickers'

A Memory of Gillingham.

I went to Gillingham Technical School in Green Street and at the end of the school day ran down Gardiner Street, making a left turn into Gillingham High Street. This picture shows my homeward view with the Le Fevers store on the left (later purchased by Debenhams) and the station in the distance. On the right was the Co-op where I waited outside for a No 45 M&D bus. Never a boring wait because the Co-op shoe shop had the school-banned 'winkle pickers' shoes by a company called Denson. Only 49/11 for a basic pair of 59/11 for a premium pair - sharp points and Cuban heels! How long could you wear them without a detention!
