Many years ago I worked for a Mail Order company HQGS at 151 Belenden Road Peckham. It had many buildings behind the shops each side, there was a staff of 31 who packed the seasonal items Summer it was tents, Winter Corrugated Plastic sheeting, and general Mail Order things.

There were people from most countries working there, some would stop work and go into the open yard face East and pray, they were never prevented to do this.

Many of the employees would come to work on their Tribal Day dressed in their colourful flowing robes, these did interfere with the work that they could not carry out being dressed like it, these days would be prevented as a Health Hazard.

The company closed all about thirty, of the warehouses to move to Dolcis shoe factory in Great Dover Street at the Borough.

Some employees went with them, but as the pay was not very good, and they lived local they opted not to go. I gave it a day but did not like being confined to a closed warehouse and no smokeing. So I left.

Some Shops remained for a few years, in Coldharbour Lane, High Holborn, Oxford Street, Croydon, Romford.

I wonder if there is anyone about who worked there?

    • I miss that cyclist chap that comments on everything 
    • We have been patients at Sternhall Lane for years. Our experience has generally been incredibly positive with speedy responses and very helpful staff. We are generally fortunate to get a same day appointment should we really need one either at Sternhall Lane or at Tessa Jowell and any necessary referalls have been swift. 
    • @Alice if left might have been stolen/taken by someone (peed on by a dog or fox), also there are some little things attached of - I assume - sentimental value. I hope the owner can claim them. Will leave a note indeed with info how to retrieve them, though not with a private phone number in a public space 😅 Maybe a friend of a friend will come across this post on EDF.  @embob97 They do have a ring, sorry. 
    • Agree but not so great for the independently owned cafes shops etc.
