Tanner's Fabrics And The Coffee Roasters

A Memory of Harlow.

My mother and I used to buy fabrics from Tanners Fabrics in Little Walk. It was a fire-trap - fabrics piled from floor to ceiling and very little room to move. Mr. Tanner always knew where everything was though and Mrs. Maxtead worked there too. The coffee roasters was a few doors down on the same side and the smell was great (unless they burned the beans!). Mum used to buy dad the Kenyan Number One roast.
