<p>Larry has just sent me a few of his memories of the shop, his father and Harringay, which I have published toward the end of the main post, with his permission. </p>

<p>With thanks to Larry Raphael, Richard's grandson, who emailed me to clear up the mystery about the Brandon/Raphael confusion and added a few other details. Rather than stretch out an explanation here. I've edited the original post. </p>

<p>Looking for something completely unrelated in North Finchley, I just stumbled across an old photo I have that Charringtons took of the Salisbury in 1958. The tobacconists just makes it in to the photo. Added above in the main article. </p>

<p>No Hugh, I shouldn't think the barber changed at all ! But at my then age I think most barbers were considered to be 'Italian' and the bloke in question was of foreign descent so I would've simply assumed him to be Italian. Yes it all looks familiar though a "few" years down the line from my residency. But basically I can relate very much to that.</p>

<p>I shouldn't think the barber had changed much between the time you were here and when I took the photos. Did it all look pretty familliar?</p>
<p>The photo isn't hi-res enough to make out that sign. Even the one I published is just a corner of a bigger photo. I guess it'd either be an early from of pub sign or something related to the tobacconist. (Where's my time machine when I need it!)</p>

<p>Oh blast etc,etc........my post had vanished before I had finished. Start again. Fascinating read and great pics Hugh. I remember that tobacconist shop there but I more so remember the barber shop through the back of tobacconists. I thought the barber was Italian but ?? I had my first 'elephant trunk quiff' style cut there, around 1960 I suppose, based on a model's picture displayed therein. Brilliant, cut throat razor edged hairlines, Brylcreem or similar plastered and blow dried. …</p>

Brilliant, cut throat razor edged hairlines, Brylcreem or similar plastered and blow dried. Wow what a job, felt like a film star. Immaculate creations. Then maybe 62 time I moved on to the 'college boy' style before quitting barber shops altogether for several years from 63. Oh to be blessed with the luxury of hair now !! I can also see "Charlie Brandon" name there Hugh. BUT I never knew a dentist operated out of those premises, never heard that mentioned before. Now, can you tell me what is on the black sign that appears to hang out from shop across the pavement immediately before those gorgeous old Salisbury gas lamps ?</p> Hi Hugh, thinking about your…tag:harringayonline.com,2022-12-13:844301:Comment:15206132022-12-13T11:07:08.276ZAndrew Wilsonhttps://harringayonline.com/profile/AndrewWilson
<p>Hi Hugh, thinking about your comment regarding Harry’s parentage, although my memory of 70 yrs ago is not as clear these days, Charlie and Harry were unalike. I remember Charlie being in a grey dust coat, slightly built, his hair was combed straight back and was grey and Harry was much more swarthy with dark hair, fairly solidly built. I hope this helps</p>

<p>Do not remember who ran the shop in the 1950's as I was very young but do remember going in there with my Grandparents. Neither of them smoked but they did like buying Snuff ! </p>

<p>Thanks again for the earlier tip, Andrew. Any clues on “Ralph” at the Coliseum, or why Charlie’s name might have been above the shop in the Twenties?</p>
<p>interesting that a “Harry” ran the shop in your day. Richard and Lilly’s son was Harry. It's given rise to another possibility (See final para above, edited since your comment).</p>

<p>I remember in the 50’s, Charlie Brandon’s son, Harry, ran the shop. I did a little bit of work for him, we left the area in the late fifties.</p>
