Sweet shops in Upper Elmers End Rd in the 60s

[ian]

There was one sweet shop just under the railway bridge past Abbotts Way, I think the owners moved to Australia. The house is still there today. All Marian Vian kids went in there.

There was also one opposite Goddard Road or was that a cafe?

There was one on the corner of Monks Way at Eden Park, it is now a tyre shop.

I remember both sweet shops, the one under the bridge lot of kids stole sweets from, the shop was creepy.

There was a really old sweet shop on the corner of Eden Park Ave and upper Elmers End Rd that was dark and dingy and really smelt of cats or it could have the old smelly women that owned it!!

Seem to remember you could buy packs of five Park Drive f*gs there...

There is a photo of the shop in the photo gallery on this site in the Eden Park folder. I remember the shop well.
