Nice to see the photos. My late M-i-L worked there, in fact it could even be her in the first photo having just left there to go home . Hard to tell now, was over 50 yrs ago now.

The site as it was in the 60s; with the 105 number visible for reference.

Anyone younger wants to know about ` Lyon`s ` corner houses, should look at the Harrison Ford
film, `Hanover Street`on as a T.V. film on at the moment. 1940/45.
One scene shows Harrison paying for a pot of tea, it looks like to me, two tuppenny coins, maybe
two half crowns, more like it. As Snodlandmalc worked there in the 1970`s, how much would a pot
of tea, cost then ? --------- I have a paper back book, all about Lyon` girls training.
