Hides: A memory of Bexleyheath

Hides

A Memory of Bexleyheath.

I used to work in the Haberdashery department at Hides and my best friend Sylvia worked round the corner in the ribbon department. I remember they had a cat that had had kittens and the kittens used to hide under the counter and jump out, grab my ankles and bite!

My dad, Pat Crawley worked at Hides from about 1962 until the shop finally closed. He used to run the green grocery department. I think that the "food hall" ( never a supermarket) manager was a mr Vernon and the general manger was a mr Allen?

Hi Allan, I was there in 1956 before your father and left 1958. I would have remembered him if I had been there then as my name then was Wendy Cawley
