Crystal Radio In Chingford.

A Memory of South Lambeth.

Back in the early 1950s my girlfriend lived in South Chingford. I'd stay with her and her parents for a weekend every 8 weeks when I got a pass home from the Hydro Electric Construction job in Scotland. Often we'd go from Church Street where she lived to the shops in South Chingford for Saturday shopping. One shop in particular, a wireless repair shop, had a small sign on the front door, I remember it as if it was yesterday. It read: "Don't tear your hair out over your radio, Bring it in here and let me tear mine"!
