Is it my imagination or can anyone remember a record shop on the right hand side of Tower Bridge Rd - the Grange Rd end. There was Martins - the mens outfitters (last shop on the right) - Trees the jewellers and Bon Marsh the sweet shop - but inbetween those two there was a record shop where you could go in a booth and listen to a 45 before you bought it ?

I don't remember a record shop in Tower Bridge Rd, but there was one in the parade of shops opposite the drill hall off Abbey St - where we used to get the No1 or 199 to Greenwich

Seeing the name Trees has brought back memories. I bought my wedding ring there. My mother bought an ring there too as she never had an engagement ring. All were second hand.....

The Fish and Chips Shop on Tower Bridge Road.

I think it was more to left of the Tower Tandoori (Facing the shops)
and in the 70's it was called Barnetts

There was a record shop in TBR ,they used to supply "The Grand Cinema" in Grange road with
records and advertised of that on a scratched plate at the intervals between films.I can remember
that and that was in the 1930s on the sat matinees for the kids.Showing films with Johnny Mack
Brown,Kermit Maynard and his brother Ken,Johnny Wiesmuller,Gene Autry and Smiley Burnette,
And of course "FLASH GORDON" Many episodes of this was shown here.Having seen Flash
on the tv lately this was the same Flash.
The Lone Ranger used to be shown at "The Star" along with "The Mummy's Hand" all good serials.
