Gone, but not forgotten.
Going back to the original question asked by Sandra, she never gave a date, so I was wondering if this could be the cafe in question. This photo was taken in the mid 50's and the number of the cafe was 272. Both the cafe and the ladies hairdressers next door are still there but have now been converted into houses.
yes in deed they sure did it was a thick glass and thats when charles ran it after his father died he also the corner of Alma street charles owned it also on alma street i think it was number 47 booking office along with another on at tyburn road ajoining there coffee shop along with one arm bandits but because of the other grand father was a copper they told him when they are being raided
Thanks Alan. Those little cafés were a godsend to us council workers. The council provided no welfare facility’s whatsoever, so we would pop into these little coffee houses as we called them for a cuppa, some food and the loo.
The Holly Lane Café in #33 was grocers’ shop in 1975 but the owner did tell me it used to be a café and she would still do us a bacon sandwich.
