Hi,
My partners Grandad, Percy, ran the fishing tackle shop on the corner of Gerrard Street and Lennox street in the 1960s.
We have been searching for any photos/anyone who knew the shop so hoping someone on here may be able to help.
Thankyou.
 
providing this is the correct corner i have this one taken in1968 corner of gerrard and lennox...if you zoom in closely above the door it looks like a fish...could this have been your shop...could we have percys surname as someone maybe able to check the directories to see what number the shop was

Thats great. Percys surname was Edwards. Unfortunately my father in law, percys son, is no longer with us but my partner would love to know more about his grandad and his shop.
Thankyou.
 
ok hopefully one of our members can sort out the number of shop but i think its a good bet that the photo i have posted is the one...fingers crossed
