That was a good find on the Frith's website showing your premises on the High Road back in 1961. (only seems like yesterday!).

Across the road..the picture shows the Departmental store Goodbans..which had those overheads wires transporting dosh from the counters to the Cashiers Desk!

You'll find a trip to the Local Studies Section of the Reference Library very rewarding as they'll have the annual Kelly's Directories from the mid 1800's to 1938/9 which will contain the details you are looking for.

In the 1938 Kelly's here, 269 is shown to be Chancers the watchmaker.  Just along the way at 263 was Shears who I remember as travel agents, cigars and hairdressers and who had premises at Chiswick Park Station too.

At No 261 was The Bonanza sweet shop owned by George Harrison. He also owned the newsagents /sweet shop opposite Chiswick Station. He lived with his family at 3 Staveley Road but sadly in September 1944 the V2 rocket fell just outside their home and Mrs Harrison was one of those killed.

Most famously remembered by us oldies is No 253, the home of Mylo's ice cream. There the most georgeous soft creamy treat could be purchased for one old penny. In front of Tanner's today you can see the Mylo's name inlayed in tiles I believe.

Forum poster Ian Wylie has a picture of Mylos in his collection. Thinking about it his Picture Album might have even more of interest to you!  Ian are you there!

Enjoy your researching. It's fun and rewarding.
