Was the pet store mentioned on the corner of Rossiter Road and Balham Hill? If so I remember it well, and added to that the egg stall was in Hildreth Street Market. I lived in Rossiter Road 1945 - 1961, and walked past the pet shop every day.

I lived in Rossiter Road from 1952 to 1963. I used to love popping into the pet shop on the corner to see the pets. We used to buy supplies there for our budgie.
