Stonecot Hill Memories
A Memory of Sutton.
This is a shot of Stonecot Hill, looking south towards North Cheam. The shop you can see is on the corner of Stonecot Hill and Ash Road - it was an off-licence. Before 1964 it had a brown facia, with the Whitbread logo and was called 'The Empire Wine Stores'. After 1964 (when this shot was taken) the facia was changed to white/blue and carried the Stowells logo. Later still it was changed to red/white/black and carried the Threshers logo. How do I know? My dad (Ron Shipton) was the off licence manager from 1949 to 1970. We lived in the flat above. My brother and I had the bedroom at the front with the gable you can see, jutting out of the roof.
