Just wondering and hoping that somebody can help me. I'm looking for the name of a florist shop that was in Green Lane, near to West Ham football club in the 60's/70's and possibly 80's.

Anybody live that way and know of it?

Thanks
Maisy

I was told that the person who had the flower shop also had a stall outside the football club. Hoping to find out name of shop. Looks like I'll have to try the library on Monday.

Thanks for your help.
