Devonshire Road Grocery Shop
A Memory of West Ham.
I was born in Jersey Road in 1960. Just around the corner, my nan used to own a grocery shop in Devonshire Road called Smiths. I had loads of good times there as a young boy. There was also a chip shop very near but I can't remember the name of it. I was sometimes treated to a bottle of coke at the Nottingham Arms - my nan's favourite pub. She had a very good friend called Vera Cooper, a lovely, very funny blind lady. I also remember being taken to West Ham speedway and swimming in the lido. My nan was moved from Devonshire Road in the seventies and lived in a block of flats called Hume Point. Does anybody remember those great days?
