I remember Humphries shop well from the late 50s/early 60s. What a nice old chap he was ! I'd forgot the laundry though. There was another shop, Browns I think, and a cobblers on the corner which was owned by Susan Maughans dad.

Dunno Why, Possibly from Taffy Lewi's book, but I think the BSA site in Armory Rd was previously Lloyds Farm, and there was also a drop forge around there somewhere. I'm sure somebody on here will tell you if I'm wrong.

Not sure, but I think if you were to get a car dealer to do an HPI check, or maybe try one of the text message vehicle checks you might come up with something. or try the owners club, someone might know who he is. Good luck-sounds like a great thing to do for him.

I remember that outdoor from the 50s,wood panelling, the big silver till, and for some reason I remember the old picture on the wall, any idea what it was called ? what years were you there ?

What worries me is that banks and credit card companies etc. always want to use your mothers maiden name as a password, and its easy to find it on these sites. Theres that many kids with unmarried mothers round here these days, I wonder what they will do in the future. :D
