Food And Sweets

A Memory of Wembley.

My memories of Wembley High Rd are mainly Maynards sweet shop next to the steps, De Marcos ice cream parlor and the Lyons tea room above the shops (which later became the Job Centre).
I remember also Wally Kilminsters where I bought my ice skates, and opposite was Stadium Motors at the triangle. I remember that as a boy we used to take great delight in sending strangers to Wembley asking for direction to Wembley High Street to the actual High Street and not the High Road. Of course many of you will know that High Street is a cul de sac of old cottages just off Wembley Hill Road.

Some of my earliest memories are of Wembley Broadway where there used to be an old police telephone box (like in Dr Who) and of course my favourite shop Mr and Mrs Forsdyke's sweetshop and mini library. Peace pharmacy, the original one run by Mr Peace himself (a very jolly man) which was right next to the police box. and of course the hub of Webley Broadway, Leslie's Delicatessen. (Take a basket) run by Mr and Mrs Mound.
