Hi,Hi Jalewis, welcome to the forum, what were your grandparents names?
Hi Jalewis, when did your parents move from Gospel lane?Hi,
My grandparents owned a haberdashery shop on Gospel Lane during the war. It was called Wendy's.
Just trying to find out any information I can.
I think the shop was sold in the early 1950s when they emigrated to Australia.
The two shops on the right hand side belong to my brother and sister . My dad owned the mobile shop as a grocery store from around 1977 for about 30years and later brought property next door. My family still live above both properties.Street view today. 350 is the shop with the blue van outside

Hi Jalewis,
Donyou know what year they moved? My family lived at 354 from 1977 till present.My parents owned the grocery store called Choudharys. There was a haberdashery shop next door which was owned by a couple called Toni and Jim Clarke, its possible this was your parents shop previously. Im pretty sure we have a picture of their shop on the inside somewhere when my sister had her ears pierced. The entrance to their house was through the shop behind the counter. Thw door number would have been 356 Gospel lane, on the strretview picture it is the one that is Harveys fish bar, the other two shops pictured still belong to my family. 350 was a videorama when we lived there.The haverdashery shop was called ‘ Shirleys’.
