Names from the Past ....

That was where Andersons, the first self-service supermarket in CSP, was located, not in the current building but in an earlier building on the site.

Couple of names that have come to me:

Mr Andrews was the owner/manager of Andrews Menswear/The Mans Shop
Had a lovely daughter called Julie/Julia (?) who looked after me on my first day starting at St Joseph's
He lived in the last house on the right as you went past Water Hall towards CSG.

Colin's Fish Bar (as it was originally called), the son, Keith Pigden took it over from his father. The last I heard Keith and his wife were still living in CSP, in Eleanor Road I believe.

Paddy the Irish barber that took over Darvill's employed an Italian guy, (cannot remember his name) but he eventually opened an Italian resturant in the precinct.

Pitchforths the Chemist - there a middle-aged guy who worked in there who had a penchant for wearing make-up amd womens clothing - he was not the manager. His wife was a PE lecturer at Newland Park College

Amended the list, now in a later post.

What was the name of the Latino Food place that used to do hot dogs?

Sadly, no-one seems to have mentioned the Chalfont Bookshop.
