#088 Edward Terry Bookshop 1995 v 2024

A slightly different episode this week: we are seeking any further information about the origins and ownership of this bookshop, along with your memories of it. Caught on our camcorder footage from 1995 is another former Ilford institution - Edward Terry bookseller. For around 30 years it traded on Roden Street, renamed Chapel Road as part of the town centre redevelopment in the mid-80s. It was a treasure trove of second hand books which surrounded you as you entered. There was something there from all genres and for all ages. What are your memories of Edward Terry? With thanks to Stephen Hargadon, Ilford Historical society and the members of the Growing Up in the Ilford Area Facebook group.
