My great grandparents had a fishmongers at 9 Bedford Hill,Balham some time after WW1 so 1918 ish.
When bought it was in name of E S Churchly but they were called George Henry and Edith Annie Smith.
Unfortunately they went out of business with introduction of Macfisheries and life took very bad turn.
Seems it is still a fishmongers today.
Longshot but wondered if anyone has handed down stories or pics ( I have one of time from my mum's cousin)

I lived with my Mum and Dad in Hornby Boulevard, then when I was 11 we moved to a new house in Skelmersdale. I remember the Litherland High Street with its department store Sterlers, it had a system to transport money to the accounts office by inserting the cash in a small tube and inserting it into a vacuum tube system. A chain was pulled and the capsule would find its way to the office. Sterlers is long since ...see more
I remember the small grocers in North Cheam with the terrazzo floor called Sainsburys.

There've been about 2 feet of snow out there and it's about minus 10 deg, so I thought I'd stay in the warm and catch up on what everyone's been saying and better understand/manipulate - sometimes not so easy - this website (I found messages I didn't even know I'd received!). So I hope this appears properly. I found that, if I couldn't get to sleep easily I should go through my old grammar school in ...see more

In the late fifties we used to live in the old Rectory at the bottom of the hill - the photos looking uphill are taken from outside the garden wall. I guess the house has gone now. I believe one of the Liddell family ( of Alice in Wonderland fame) was rector here at one time, Charles Dodgson ( Lewis Carroll) apparently was a visitor.There was an autograph by one of the Liddells scratched into one of the upstairs windows, but I don't suppose it was preserved?

Beautiful scenery all around. Good ...see more

As a lad in the 1950's a Sunday run to see auntie in Petersfield was are regular event. A trip to see the lake and try to spot the large carp that would often rise was a treat. On the road there we would often see 'The Butser Turf company lorries load with supplies. The lorries then were ex army 4 x 4 from the war.
From the age of about 5 (I'm now 69) I use to fish this lake for tench, carp and roach. Then in the winter of 62/63 I would ice skate on it from Boxing Day 62 to march 63 - what a winter that was.
Now in New Zealand for that last 35 years course angling here is not the same. However, the trout fishing is outstanding..

Hi,
I went to RWS in 1957 but` was only there for two or three terms because I hated the place.
