C And A Modes About 1960/1
A Memory of Ilford.
I was an apprentice Shopfitter that worked on C & A Modes in early 1960, it was a freezing time with frosts and cold winds whistling through the arcade of showcases at the front of the shop.
The Shopfitting Co was namely the famous, Parnall and sons ltd of Lodge Causeway, Fishponds, Bristol. This company stopped trading after a factory fire in about 1991.
While working in Ilford i spent a couple of days on a Cyril Lord Carpet shop in the High Road, it was opposite Harrison and Gibson Store.
Google Earth Pro today shows the C & A Modes store in place at the junction of Cranbrook and Station roads, opposite the Station entrance.
60 years have passed now but it still seems like yesterday.
