The High Street

A Memory of Ruislip.

Lived in Ruislip most of my life. I also knew the Stockdales; last saw him at the Lido in the 70's. The picture of the village also shows Haileys toy shop as well as The Village sweet shop. Next to Barbara's Pantry was a shop called the Priory. My father used to be a coppersmith and after the war sold many of his copper wares to the shop. Just past the Police Station was a shoe repairers called Lear & Gristwood. Opposite was Bunces, Fitchetts the barbers, further down was Lyttons, Inwoods the car dealer, Home & Colonial, the first supermarket Payandtake. Happy days
