My great uncle Bob (Robert McLaren) had a corn-chandler's shop in London Road.
Great grandfather Donald McLaren (Bob's brother) was Head Gardener at The Grange, Havant, where he lived with my grandmother Violet Pearl and the rest of his family.
I can remember visiting Uncle Bob at his shop and staying with great auntie Viola in Stakes Road. I'm now 70!
I would love to hear from anyone who has memories of those days, the late 1940s.
The Heroes is boarded up and for sale in this photo. I suspect it was demolished soon after. Every one of the buildings in this photo was demolished in the 1960s to be replaced by the soulless Wellington Way arcade and adjacent shops.
