Plough Electrics

[louisiana]

The shop (next to Lloyds Bank) was empty of goods and furniture today. Looks like they've shipped out or shut down (?)

Any news of what might be opening up?

[ontheedge]

Thats a shame I liked that shop they seemed to have most things and reasonably priced

[macroban]

New lease details.

It was generally quite good, but I went in recently for some phone fittings and the (different?) guy in there was a complete dope and didn't appear to have much in the way of stock so I walked away empty handed.

I went in for a mini jack to phono and they took about 15 mins to decide they didn;t have one, They weren't that great.

Surprised nobody's noticed they've moved across the road - to the old corner shop on the corner of Landells Rd, next to the funeral director. Not the most organised place, but handy if you want some simple rewiring done cheaply..

Ah, not surprised I missed it then: I'd only ever go to that sector of the Plough junction during shop hours if I needed to visit the sub post office counter, which isn't that often these days.

The optician in Dulwich Village, next to that posh (read 'over-priced') dry cleaning place, has closed.

[woofmarkthedog]

Oh no!

Where do you buy "carmen curlers" now?

W**F

[EDOldie]

Er, it's not the Optician. It was a clothes shop, Gill Holland. I saw the optician yesterday.

[reetpetite]

I think Nero needs an optician..!

I'd say across the road - the old corner shop on the corner of Landells Rd, next to the funeral director.

Yes 360 Lordship Lane is going to be an Italian Deli and Tea room. It is going to be called Tea Amore.

That (on the opposite corner from the dry cleaner) looks to still be a grocer's shop of some kind.

[citizenED]

I think the idea is that Plough Electrics will operate alongside the grocers store in the same unit.

Graet news about the deli & tea rooms. We need something up this end.

[EDOldie]

Wil they be selling garlic bulbs I wonder?

[Nero]

I wasn't wearing my specs when I thought the optician in the Village had shut!

Signs on the window of Plough Electrics (as was) say it will be a cafe and deli. Should be good. I am pleased that part of the Lane is looking up. All it needs now is for the seemingly endless work next to the William Hill to be finished and that new supermarket to open.

[Jah Lush]

That shop seems to have been there forever. I can remember when it sold records as well as electrical goods.

[EDOldie]

I remember buying the Beatles Double White Album in there when it came out (much to my Dad's disgust).

[citizenED]

When they took the sign down you can just make out a previous sign. It reads "Thorntons".

He was probably paying for it.

I got Blondie's Plastic Letters in there back '77.

Plough electrics has been on a downer ever since it changed ownership amd moved away from its core business of repairing shavers to trying to become an electical spare parts shop. The guy behind the counter seems to have lost heart over the years since the change and not somewhere I tend to use any more as the attidue seemed to be either can't do it or can't be bothered. Shame because at one time it was a really good little shop.

[lozzyloz]

If it had stuck to its core business it'd probably gone out of business years ago. Trouble was that Southside Lighting, Plough DIY and Plough Electrics kind've crossed over a bit.
