I am Mail-me Post reply -->London Deptford Alan Rickard 19 Feb ^ DeptfordI lived in Harton Street three doors from Bowleys and as a small child love Joyce Bowley who worked there and also used to go to school with my mother. She was a a lovely kind lady and would like to know what happened to here and the family. There is still one of their shops in Coney Hall. With regard to Mr Wynne, I used to go the the lake district with him and have photos if anyone is interested. He didn't die in the Woowich bombing as inured to see him in the Royal Albert pub after the event. He did however die soon after as a result of the injuries he sustained. It was Winnie who changed the school football strip to match Westhams, but the bastards changed it back to green after he died. I also used to go with him to Westham to watch the games.
