I'm trying to establish the name of a bookmakers on the corner of Smallwood Road and Alston Road in Tooting. My recollection is that, initially, in 1961/2 it was called Williams but later was taken over by William Hill.
Can you please advise where I might search for this business, preferably online.
Thanks in advance.
Ron

Google

Or Kelly's directories, which aren't online, unfortunately. You'll need to visit the relevant local main library - or the County Records Office - when open.
