Hanwell Shops

A Memory of Hanwell.

Where the Boston Road divides into the Lower Boston Road, there were - The Queen Victoria Pub. Opposite was University Motors, which was BMC, and later Leyland cars. There was a line of shops, these being, Harris-Newspapers, Ibotsons sweet shop, Joffards the barbers, and finally Keepings leather goods which was made in shop. After an ally was a furniture shop, and finally a shop which bought lead and rags etc. At the top of Rosebank Road was an upholsterer. Next to the Queen Victoria was Grants cycle shop. I once saw an Ever Ready battery underground train set in the window, very, very rare. This was produced by Ever Ready in order to sell batteries.
