Hello all, my name is Andy Daniel - I'm one of Fred Hanks' grandchildren and the son of Beryl who co-owned it with my uncle Roy from the early 90s until it's closure.
I'm currently trying my best to find any and all photos of the shop at 247 Slade Road during any of the decades that it was there. I'm currently working on recreating an accurate model of the building and I need to find as much reference as possible. Unfortunately, there are not many photos of the way it used to look still in existence that I can find and so I am appealing to anyone who has anything to please contact me, or post it here.
It seems that the historic images from Google street view aren't available for that section of Slade Road, only from the bottom of Abbey Road, which leaves me stuck for any decent images of various angles of the building as it was.
I had hoped to ask the new owners of the building if I could take some of the old woodwork from the shop frontage away when they had it removed, but I don't live in the UK any more and I missed the renovation process and wasn't able to grab any of it!
Also, if anyone has any questions about the shop, I'd be happy to answer if I can!
It would be a huge help and I would be very grateful!
