Wow. That was my grandfather I never met. Sounds like my dad. John also had a son Peter - do you know if he was involved in the business? He was born in 1935 so could still be around..

I remember PS&N well myself and I well recall the narrow wooden stairs.
Now can someone confirm if my mind is playing tricks.
Upstairs did they sell model railway equipment in the 1960s?
(No I am not getting mixed up with Lucas' Hobbies which did sell model railways upstairs.)
I recall a table in the middle of one of the upstairs floors with Hornby Dublo eequipment on display in the late 1960s. This was a time when Meccano, makers of Hornby Dublo had been taken over by Lines' Bros Rovex-Triang group and they were phasing out the old Hornby Dublo two and three rail systems in favour of their own products.
Just wondering if anyone else remembers this?
