    Thanks for bumping this up Colin, I wasn't following the forum when the thread was started.

    My Gran ran a cafe cum boarding house in Snargate St in the late 30s, almost next door to Sharp and Enright. Most of the performers at The Hippodrome theatre stopped with her, many of them becoming household names on TV later, and she had some interesting stories to tell and strong opinions about many of them.

    My mother was one of the evacuees to Wales during the war, and had some horrific memories of seeing the Dunkirk evacuees return before she left. After returning she got married and lived there with Dad and I was born above the shop in 48. Somewhere I've got some photos that I'll try to find and post, it was evidently a really vibrant area at that time.
