Hello, I was in Lewisham town centre last Thursday and was given something called Riverdale Video. I just would like to give me impressions for Riverdale Video.
It asked for ‘lost town centre shop / amenity’ and I put down cinemas, department stores and fabric shop. And for my ‘memories and reocollections’, when I mentioned this project to family and friends, they all mentioned the cinemas and stores such as Chiesmans, Army and Navy and Woolworths.
What I remember most is the fabric shop, Rolls and Reams, started in 1966 and closed only last year. It had an immense range of fabrics and everything else needed for sewing, knitting, etc and the staff were so very well informed.
Fortunately, some workers have set up another fabric shop near the old one. I wish it a great success.
