Mr Stratford of Waverly stores in Beach Road Nahoon 33

Mr Stratford of Waverly stores in Beach Road Nahoon East London. They stayed in a flat above the shop. Every second Wednesday I delivered flowers to them (1957). They were an old(?) English couple that ran the grocery store. They still measured out by weight the rice, sugar and other items. They ran a tab system for their clients and even had a home delivery system. They closed after a place called "Super Valu" opened a supermarket type shop and they in turn closed when "pick and pay" started trading on Main Reef road. Hugh Huggett had the pharmacy next door, Lorwins the habedashery, then there was Englers hardware store (they owned a plot with a dam just behind the shops) and the Fruit and veg shop (Fruitshop - remember the blind man that served one there?)and a cafe (for a short time there was a take away called the Golden Oriel.
