Paper Round
A Memory of Dagenham.
The shop on the left corner is L Gardners -- newsagent and sweet shop. I marked up the morning paper rounds in 1965 and 66, then did my own round to finish about 8am. I got an extra 5 shillings for doing the extra round - making 15 bob a week. Great shop though, got my Wizard, Hotspur and Victor there -- they even had War Picture Library.
But I did nick the occasional coconut macaroon when I came out from behind the counter.
Anybody remember Gardners? His brother had another shop in Green Lane.
Next door was the chemist, and then there was the fish and chip shop.
