Only two of us went back the following week. The same cop as the week before got out of his car and moved towards us. The owner of the wool shop came out and told us to stand on his property. He then told the police he’d given his permission to collect. The police walked away thwarted :) Turned out the shop owner was a member of the Communist Party. He did me a massive turn as believe it or not I was working for the police at the time but would not have completed 30 years with them had he not bailed us out.

For my project I am tracing back a knitted teddy that was made for my mother and wondered whether you know the name of a wool shop that would have been on Eltham high street in the 1970s (ish)?
