Hayley's Toyshop
A Memory of Ruislip.
The shop on the right belonged to Mr and Mrs Hayley and was a toyshop. You stepped into the shop, which was very dark. Here were Dinkey cars and packets of fivestones and jacks. To the right you stepped down into a separate room which had tricycles and dolls prams. The Hayleys were very old, to my memory; Mr Haley with a white moustache, and a waistcoat, his wife wore a large flowered apron. Both had country accents. Next to their shop was a sweet shop, where the shopkeeper lady's sitting room could just be seen behind the door.

There was a delicatessen across the road where they sold special coffees. If I was lucky my mother took me there for a treat. I had hot chocolate if I remember-no coffee for children!
