I have fond memories of the Electrical shop and the man who ran it. I remember going with my Dad to buy our Christmas lights. Dad and that man could talk 'Man talk' for hours!
The photo below shows the corner of Brading Road and Elm Grove back in the 1980s sometime. In this instance this photograph was supplied by Floss Jarman, the lady who ran Jarmans Pet Stores along with her husband. I loved going in here with my Mum to see their talking parrot called Polly.
