Pet Shop New Zealand Avenue

A Memory of Walton-on-Thames.

I have particularly fond memories of George Cansdale opening the pet shop in New Zealand Avenue in the early 1950s. It made the front page in the Surrey Herald and featured a picture of George with me. My parents purchased a copy of the photograph, but over the last 60 years or so I've managed to lose it.

I remember Birkheads - an Alladin's cave of goodies and also the Odeon cinema that I used to visit every Saturday morning to watch the children's matinee. There was a small sweet shop next to the cinema.

Happy days!
