I guess this is in the right forum as it is a barbers shop I'm 'on about'
Anyone remember the barber shop in Gerrard Street near Furnace lane ? It was run by a man named Albert Marshall and I would be taken there for my 'short back & sides' as a child in the late fifties / early sixties. He would put a seat adaptor across the arms of the chair and I would be lifted onto it to have my hair cut. Afterwards I used to like the bristly feel of the hair at the back. Back 'up the yard' all the other kids would be shouting "Haircut" ! In the pic it looks like Albert had recently 'had a go at me' and it must be close to Xmas as theres the tatty old Xmas tree in the background ! Very poor, but VERY happy
