H.L. Austin And Son
A Memory of Southfields.
I served my apprenticeship 100 yards up Westhill Road, HL Austin and Son, a BLMC dealership. Friday nights I spent a proportion of my wages in the Park Tavern. Run by a wonderful Irish family with a horse and carriage hired out for weddings etc. The stable was behind the pub, the groom engaged to the Landlord's daughter. My mum and dad often met friends there over the weekend in the 1960s. I remember mum telling me that dad had a funny turn in the pub when he encountered his first topless woman--a short lived and long missed fashion!
