Crouch End Broadway 1975 - when Gails was a Kentucky!

I remember my first experience of Kentucky Fried Chicken (as it was known then) was when the shop on Jolly Butchers Hill first opened in the mid 70's although I notice the one in Turnpike Lane is no longer there.

KFC arrived in England (Lancashire) in 1965, thus a full decade ahead of Macs, Burger King etc.

The site was a  seafood restaurant for a while , as I recall.

As I remember, the premises was bought by a local who'd won the lottery and tuned into a short-lived seafood restaurant.

Amazing what old cars people were driving as late as 75.
