One post on social saying this week, I remember going to Lattie's There seems to be a bit of confusion about what that shop in Redhill was called. Was it Latte's or Latte's as in coffee? I've seen it spelt two or three different ways, which is why I'm hedging my bets with how to say it. But I remember going to Latte's as a very small child with my parents.
The Polish World War II war veterans used to meet there after church on Sundays. And another comment said... And he let me help unpack the stock in the summer holidays. He brought many a smile to many people. A couple more. I remember going into Lattie's in Redhill on my way home from school and buying a bar of chocolate in the early 60s. Jim always knew my name and my best friends too.
And what bars of chocolate we'd buy. Such a friendly, nice man. So our condolences to Jimmy's family and hope that those messages will bring some comfort to them. Jimmy Bridger. who contributed much to the lives of people living in both Redhill and Reigate over the years. Now, earlier on in the week, I was down at Battlebridge Lane Athletics Track.
I was doing a recording for a feature in the show in a couple of weeks' time with Murray from the Reigate Priory Athletics Club. And as we were chatting before the interview, he mentioned about Jimmy. So I asked him if he would record a few words about his memories... of Jimmy Bridger.
And in those days, going to your newsagents, going to the sweet shop, was something that you would do on a regular basis, not just because of the newspapers or the sweets, but the tobacco as well.
Because you would go in there for your daily or your weekly fix of cigarettes or tobacco, where you'd roll your own.
I'm trying to think of some of them now. What were there? Come on, help me. We've got cola cubes and pineapple.
Mint Imperials.
How about those? Yeah.
And I suppose in those days, Reigate, every town in the land was slightly different. There was much more of, I guess, a community feel. And you would go into a shop like that regularly... You would perhaps have a bit more time. People took their time. There wasn't so much pressure on you. You'd stop and have a chat while you got your tobacco or your toffee or something.
I'm thinking of kind of... Overall type. Yeah, kind of Arkwright and open all hours or something like that.
Remind us where the shop was.
I thought you'd like to hear that. That was Murray from the Rygate Priory Athletics Club, and I met him down at the running track on Battlebridge Lane, which is why in the background you can probably hear some runners go past occasionally on that kind of cinder-type track. I thought you'd like to hear those memories.
Now, while I was speaking with Murray, we moved on a little bit to what the site was before Morrison's got there and before Safeway's got there, And I just thought for another couple of minutes, I thought I'd just share with you the memories of Murray, of Reigate, before Safeways slash Morrisons came to town. And this is what he told me.
