I love this picture. I remember it from the 60's when the newsagent was run by W.Chitty. My lovely Nan Mary Cheek worked in the Cabin Cafe, which was heaving with workers from the Standard. New Southgate holds great memories for me!

My family, including me, moved to 55 Brunswick Ave in 1934/5, then on to Brunswick Grove in 1939. I remember these shops so well, and was very friendly with Colin Brinkley, who was the grandson of Mr Chitty the newsagent.

I lived with my grandparents in 88 Brunswick Crescent and I have fond memories of the shops in Brunswick Avenue. I’m sure there was a butcher on the corner called Ryes? I recall a family called Cheek too.
