When I was about 7 or 8 I used to stand outside Wally Kilmister's shop to see the Queen as she arrived for the Cup Final in May. Yes, Wally Kilmister's was a treasure trove - bought football boots, a football and all sorts of things there. To the left of WK was a newsagent with a barber shop in the back where I had my hair cut. The Greyhound pub was/is down to the right on the Harrow Road - not recommended on a match day.
