Anyone remember the shops in Henry Street, Church? Thinking about May Jolly's (now June's greengrocers) reminded me. There were lots of shops - looking at Henry Street now, I don't know where they put them all! There was Emily's on the corner, a sort of general store, further down towards Dill Hall there was Hope's sweet shop, and on the other side, a huge (well, it seemed like it) pet shop, with the cobblers on the corner. He not only repaired shoes, he could make clogs - now worn by earnest looking people in Islington, but then the working man's standard footwear. What a shame they all went - but Yates's is still there, still making lovely muffins and meat pies.

I know Mez will remember ....
