My uncle who has just recently passed away had a barber's shop in Patcham for many years, his name was Peter Tamlyn. I wonder if any one remembers him? I don't know the name of the street where the shop was.

I lived up Ladies Mile Road in the 70s. I used to walk down to the shops with my friend Liz from over the road, and her labrador, Saba. We always used to stop at the butcher's, who used to give Saba a bone, which he carried lovingly back up the hill! I also remember dear old Charlie who ran the Unwin's store.

I remember 'Pete's', the barbers. You can see the barbers poles in the photo of Ladies Mile Rd. The salon was squeezed into one of the hallways that led to the upstairs flats. He was next door to Holyers the butchers. Pete was a quiet and polite chap who cut my hair from about 1950 until 1961 when I joined the RAF.
