The Hairdresser's

A Memory of Colindale.

My step Dad Alf Baker owned the hairdressers opposite Wakemans Hill. It used to be called Rosalind, named after his first wife who lived above the shop. It was changed to Craig's in 1959. His car is parked outside in this picture, a Green Vauxhall Velox, in front of the bulilding sticking out on the right hand side, (is that the 'new' church).

Sometimes I would have to spend Saturdays in the shop, as my mother, Olive worked there too. I loved the toasted tomato sandwiches from the café next door.
