Alan Esdaile… I’m sure we used to buy single cigarettes from here!

Colin Bell… Yup, then go and smoke them underage in the Orion

Nadia Compagnone… Great picture, any idea of the date?

Alan Esdaile… I think late 50’s or early 60’s Nadia?

Alan Esdaile… A couple of oddities on this photo. The side of Phoenix Assurance seems to have some type of graffiti on the wall and a pair of teeth above? And as for the window over the road, someone is having a shower in it!

David Wilkinson…. One of needs to go to Specsavers

Leigh Kennedy… that ‘graffiti’ is actually a faded hand painted sign , probably from the early 1900s ( though I can’t make out the exact words) and the ‘teeth’ are actually a heraldic coat of arms..

Lloyd Johnson… .you got me at it with the shower thing!…

Ian Price… We use to call them “loosies”scouse slang slang for loose ones!

Bookham Ally… same place now

Perri Ann Haste… I am sure I used to get the multi coloured Sobrani cocktail cigarettes here in the 70’s – very sophisticated! – or so we thought…. Now an ex smoker of over 35 years.

Di Veness… Perri, I think it was a tobacconist on Queen’s Road? Well, that’s where we sophisticates bought them anyway 😆 Smoked the colour that matched our maxi dresses

Dennis Torrance… I used to buy from here to, great place still is

Andy Qunta… Familiar view!
