Dicky Dirts - think it was in an old building in Camberwell. Sold denims in the mid-late 1970s. Anyone remember or was it all a dream?0

The sports shop just up from where Draughts (The Chequers) public house is situated in Eltham.Not the 90s incarnation which was a leisurewear/clothing store, but the 70s maybe early 80s one which was a proper sports shop.Fantastic gear, a dream shop for a sport mad kid.Only wish I could remember the name of it...... (Warrens?)I liked the earlier mention for Eltham Models.Still the finest model/hobby shop I've seen; they used to have the Scalextric circuit running all round the shop.0

Station Hotel in Welling which was mentioned earlier in thread has had planning approved for a Tesco Extra and building has been gutted ready for refurb.Criminal when I think back to the hazy hedonistic nights that I had the fortune to enjoy back in the 70/80s.0

Just along from 'Pat's Textiles'.Not the 90s incarnation which was a leisurewear/clothing store, but the 70s maybe early 80s one which was a proper sports shop.Fantastic gear, a dream shop for a sport mad kid.Only wish I could remember the name of it......

Wasn't it on the corner of tewson? used go in there to get fireworks when we were kids.Inbetween Tewson and the Fire Station, I thought it was next to the fire station, pretty sure it was. My Dad lived in Tewson Road as a boy, number 14 just near Smiths corner shop.
Remember the news paper seller outside the Volunter pub? A dwarf with lumps on his head. Robert Ayres the bakers was next to the pub.

I live in Surrey now so am not sure if it is still there, but is Nuxley Toys in Bexleyheath still around?
That shop was piled top to bottom with toys, and I remember the bins in the middle that had the pocket money toys (guns etc) that I always used to raid.

What was the name of the scrapyard with the orange (MG?) car on a pole out past Dartford on the old A2?

murrays meat market in woolwich, dad would march us down there on a saturday when they would be getting rid of everything,
woolwich market, folkestone sunday market, the guys who would have a massive trailler with everything you could imagine for sale, would always have a microphone round his neck doing the sales guff, in argos these retail for 20 quid, im not asking 20 im not asking 15, 10 quid and its yours, me mum would then hold up her tenner and one of his runners would come over take the money and give you the product, normally some kind of new wonder siscors or non stick saucepans, as a kid always remember the having the most amazing looking toys normally big jeeps or flashy robots but never watched long enough to see if he actually sold them.
