The Burrows Brothers, Portland Drive

A Memory of Merstham.

I have lived on and off in the same house on "the New Estate" in Merstham since 1952. I remember Burrows Grocery Shop in Portland Drive and the brothers would go around in their large van to the "new estate" where people could buy their groceries. I always thought this was very forward thinking of them to drum up business. It was very convenient too. A few other businesses did this. Later years I used to regularly get a 2s raspberry ripple icecream block from the icecream van and have a long chat with the Icecream Man.
