Henderson's Newsagents, at the end of Baldwyn's Park on the road to Bexley from Dartford. Used to spend my pocket money on matchbox cars there when I was weeny. Remember dropping a brown Jag in the road on the way home and it getting crushed flat before I could retrieve it.0

Wasn't it The Who that played the last concert at Lewisham Odeon before it got knocked down?
I was at that gig! Kenny Jones on drums.

I didn't bloody go. Saw them a number of years ago supported by Joe Strummer! If only we knew Strummer and Entwistle were not long for this world. Still takes me aback that Strummer's dead.

not sure if done before, epax in charlton. a front runner of iceland when i was a kid, was in the industrial estate behind where the new shops are, everything in chest freezers and it had the grumpiest old git with white balding hair on the checkout, didnt have carrier bags so you had to use empty cardboxes they would leave out.
omni's in woolwich, opposite where cash converters is now, fast food place, nice food and did awasome ice cream knickerbokerglorys, only draw back was the toilets, christ was like walking through a scene in a freedy krugger film, stairs had holse in, wall papaer peeling of the walls and the toilet itself made the one from trainspotting look clean!! used to beg my sister to come with me if i needed to go as was to scared to go alone.

I haven't got a copy of that, I'm afraid, mate. It's expensive when you can find it. There's only two used CDs of it on Amazon starting at £18. I've got the three Mescaleros albums. Saw them for the first time at the Brixton Academy after going to see us get beat 1-0 against Southampton at our first game at St Mary's.

'Soul City records in Monmouth Street, Covent Garden'
Which started in Deptford High Street. Run, of course, by the late great Dave Godin.

That's correct Hawksmoor. I got to know Dave quite well back then. As you say a great man who was responsible for breaking Motown in the UK and coined the terms "Northern Soul" and "Deep Soul" And he always had time for you whether to talk about music or life generally. Died far too young. Top bloke.
