Redhill In The Fifties
A Memory of Redhill.
Some of my memories as a small boy shopping in Redhill with my Mum .
I remember Latties the sweetshop with big jars of sweets on shelves up to the ceiling! just along the road was the Arcade and the fishmongers where Mum bought 'fishy pieces' for our cat. Around the corner was Kennards the furniture shop and the model shop, Quintons I think it was called. We used to walk through the tunnel under the railway to the bottom of Redstone Hill. In my teens I saw Tommy Bruce at the Market Hall , (must have been my first live show ) ! ! can remember Rhythms the record shop across the road, it seemed to be run by two ladies then . There was the Co'op up the road where they put your money into a tube and it came back with the change ! My folks bought me a new bicycle for my birthday from the Co'op when I was about 13, I seem to remember it cost £14'10 shillings!
There was Foster's Fish n' chip shop in Ladbroke road and the cake shop opposite the Odeon where we used to go after Saturday morning pictures . ! moved away from Redhill in 1981 but I still have happy memories of the town where I grew up.
