1960s · Hawthorn Road shops

Gwynnes, The Cabin and the record booth at Taylor’s

told by Lynne Hart

Local Businesses

Spent my life on Hawthorn (without an E) Road. The shops – Boots on the top corner, Wimbush, Wrensons, Littlewoods, Foster Menswear…. Fond memories of a sweet shop called The Cabin, Williams the Furniture shop (where else!), W J Taylor (with the record booth at the back), Leavers the ladies dress shop (which I could only afford in the sale), Miles the pet shop (still there), the Newbys at the Post Office, and in particular, Gwynnes the toy shop.
