Story 9 from Paul Kelly

Paul Kelly

Having been born in Worthing and lived there until just before my 21st birthday.

Eakins shop in Penhill Road

I was having a good look at the Lancing and Sompting site and came across the photo of the Ironmonger's shop on Penhill Road.

You may be interested to know that I worked in that shop for a while after I left school, but it was then owned by A.J. Eakins.

I got the job through his son John who I went to school with. I wonder what happened to them all.
Other than that, the shop doesn't look so different than when I worked there in the late 1950s
