The redundant electrical wholesalers signage is still up on the side wall and visible from the roundabout / EDT - perhaps the landlord would let them replace it with EDWarehouse signage (no doubt for a fee)?

As it's already there, planning consent would not be an issue

You do not replace the Edwardes Electrical sign as it's part of ED's history.

so was the Edwardes shop - but they managed to get rid of that!

let us forget - When ED was first formed, Edwardes sat on that very site, with that very sign. No other premises ever existed there, to be later replaced by Edwardes - and THAT is why we should all bow before the sign

I love the fact that the topic has now moved onto the history of the warehouse. (thanks for all the comments about E.D. Warehouse, we will continue to address all of them to make the market better and better)

I believe that Edwards Electrical moved in to the warehouse in 1978. I also understand that the warehouse was used as a hospital during the second world war and that prior to that was a livery station. I plan to research the complete history of the building from the 1890?s to date. Does anyone have any interesting information about the history of the building?. It would be nice if we can display some old photos inside the warehouse.

Hi BJL,

If you're popping in on Saturday personal message us and let us know your size. Have a couple of rayon aloha shirts but they're quite large.

Just to say thanks to everyone for all their support.. Lordship Lane has been so warm and friendly. Every place weve dropped flyers off have been really encouraging and welcoming.. Feel like were in a village in the 50's...

I visited this shop today and the selection of clothes was great.

Brands like French Connection, Jigsaw, Kookai, Earl Jeans along with vintage stuff. The prices were very reasonable and the staff lovely.

Earlytowers, I hope it was a success for you. Are there any chances it could become a permanent fixture?

[EarlyTowers]

Aaah thanks Goodliz.. we had a great day yesterday..loads of fun and everyone was so friendly.. We cant retire just yet so we are back.. for another day.. so if people are wandering around Lordship Lane today pop in.. prices most likely to be slashed..

[EarlyTowers]

Hello everyone..

Well last week was such a success (in terms of a laugh as opposed to turning us into millionaires..) that were hoping to be back next week. Everyone in the warehouse is so friendly we feel like we are in some sort of sitcom chatting away to the cheese man, the rug lady and the oyster lad..

We are already picking new bits and bobs for next week and if people are looking for anything in particular then let us know..

Hope to see some of you next week.

Ryan and Clare..

Hi Ryan and Clare

Where in the Warehouse is your stall? Hope to see you soon.

[EarlyTowers]

We are the hutch at the back in the Oyster, Rugs, and Retro section.. Fairy lights, rug, changing room, old vintage Parisian pictures.. and Clothes ofcourse.

[EarlyTowers]

Just sat and sun for the time being though - just in case you were searching for us in the week.

Hello Ryan and Clare,

Will definately be popping in tomorrow. Just to ask - if you still have that brown reiss top I tried on could you possibly save it for me?
