Bearmans Department Store Leytonstone
A Memory of Leytonstone.
I am living in New Zealand now but well remember Mum taking my sister and I to see Father Christmas at the Bearmans Dept. store during the 1950's. In fact I came across a photo of my sister and I with Father Christmas which I am sure was taken there. I was about 7 years old my sister about 5. This was our main Christmas treat and every year Bearmans had a different "grotto" theme. Sometimes we had to queue for ages to get into the grotto. Anyone else remember this - or have any photos. It was a great store.

I also remember mum getting credit every year on the 2nd floor !! , the shop was amazing massive
Food from the deli , all the very best was in there , you had to have money to shop there ,
When I grew up we played runouts in there !! Sadly I was there for its last days in 81 I think
So many people who worked there I’d seen man and boy , great memories
