Handl buys a wig at Maison Edith... and after nearly 10 years, identified! "New Broadway, Hampton Road TW12. A real ladies shop selling hair pieces and other ladies fashion accessories. My mum used to shop there for fashion bits and bobs with me. It closed in the 80s. It is now divided into two shops, one being an Art Shop the other Hampton Hill Windows. The now Art Shop was a wool and needlework shop for many years, then as home knitting sales declined it then became a hairdressers and now sells art bits and pieces. The other part of the shop was empty for many years. It was lucky to survive as 50 yards away a land mine fell in WW2 and destroyed all the shops opposite and all the houses on a-joining road." Info from Michael Hartley with thanks (SJ)

Antony Blair returned to the location 52 years later and found that although businesses have changed, the shopfronts appear much the same.
