    Was there a shop down the end of Bexleyheath Broadway called Woodruffs or something similar. I used to buy all my Subbutteo teams there?

    They had another branch in Sidcup High Street too that also closed many years ago.

    I was going to start a thread on lost shops in Woolwich. As mentioned before on other subjects my grandparents live in Woolwich and I often used to visit them
     in the 50s and 60s. Can someone refresh my memory as to names of shops in Powis Street during that period please. And possible Hare Street.

    Fine fare was the supermarket my mum used, broken biscuits a speciality and their logo mascot was a talking purse I think. 

    We hired our telly from Radio Rentals but I seem to remember some sort of coin box on it that the man would come and empty every couple of weeks? When ever I hear Rediffusion mentioned I think of watching through thier window Steve Ovett beat Seb Coe in the Olympics 1980?

    The only shop I know was Cuffs as my mum worked there in the mid 60s.

    Garretts (sp) was another department store as well - almost next door to Cuffs.

    - Do it all’s
    - Blockbuster Videos
    - Champion Sport - my first Saturday job was at the one in Burtons in the Bexleyheath Broadway

    Not a shop - but the Yellow Submarine fish and chip shop at the end of Earshall Road in Eltham - the woman serving in there had the dirtiest finger nails you’d ever seen - still used to go in there! 

    Can we add nightclubs to the thread...? 

    - Stars in Greenwich, great to head up to the “old seats” if you pulled! 

    - Bridewells in Dartford, cheesy music and chicken and chips in a basket

    - T’s in Erith - slow songs as the end, last chance to pull! 

    - The Buzzbar in Leicester Sq - a club before clubs opened - finished at 11pm

    - The City Ale and Wine Bar (near Tower Hill) - everyone was smashed before 9pm

    I used to enjoy going in there. As a 'keeper they tended to have gloves that I didn't see in other shops.

    Does any remember the name of the gents clothes shop that was a few doors down towards Welling Corner from the Grenada cinema. I bought my first Brutus shirts there in about 1970. It was run by an elderly Jewish bloke who would stand in the doorway and try and convince anyone who was window shopping to come and have a good look at the goods.
