Actin High Street Shops
A Memory of Acton.
Hi, I lived in Mill Hill Road Acton for 8 years as a child in the 1950’s and remember all the shops in the High Street, all except one, the department store/ haberdashery shop on the corner of Market Place and the High Street. They used to have a strange pulley system where cash was put in a container for your purchases then it was pulled up and went all around up to the cash office then your change was sent back down to you, very strange shop, no tills. Does anyone remember the name of the store? Janet King

Wonderfull days!
Willcott Road caught my eye as I lived there between 1949 and 1959 Looking at the date you left Faraday I guess you are about four years younger than me (I left in 1965) so we probably did not play in the street together. Other names I remember from Willcott are the Tubbs and the Lamberts All the best to you Cheers Ian
Hi Alfie
As mentioned below I lived in Willcott Road in the 50s but had friends in Mill Hill Road (One of them I still see a couple of times a year) .It is a pretty long road but perhaps by chance the name John Tanner or Charlie Richmond might ring a bell
Cheers
Ian
