Many years ago I worked for a Mail Order company HQGS at 151 Belenden Road Peckham. It had many buildings behind the shops each side, there was a staff of 31 who packed the seasonal items Summer it was tents, Winter Corrugated Plastic sheeting, and general Mail Order things.

There were people from most countries working there, some would stop work and go into the open yard face East and pray, they were never prevented to do this.

Many of the employees would come to work on their Tribal Day dressed in their colourful flowing robes, these did interfere with the work that they could not carry out being dressed like it, these days would be prevented as a Health Hazard.

The company closed all about thirty, of the warehouses to move to Dolcis shoe factory in Great Dover Street at the Borough.

Some employees went with them, but as the pay was not very good, and they lived local they opted not to go. I gave it a day but did not like being confined to a closed warehouse and no smokeing. So I left.

Some Shops remained for a few years, in Coldharbour Lane, High Holborn, Oxford Street, Croydon, Romford.

I wonder if there is anyone about who worked there?

    • I'm going to Paris with friends, staying in the 3rd arrondissement. I used to go a lot but that was ages ago so wondered if anyone has any 'insider tips'? We are interested in small art galleries, independent shops, good value cafes and restaurants that may not feature in all the many online articles or guides, thanks!
    • Hi, My two years old nephew is a complete bookworm and we are looking for more books for him. Is anyone selling or giving away any books please?    Thank you.
    • I think you'll find that there are more than just 'quite a lot' involved with firework enjoyment. I'm not one of those, but I do not begrudge the enjoyment of others. 
    • Elliot built alcove cupboards and shelves in our lounge room earlier this week. SO happy with them, the quality of joinery is superb and elliot was very communicative with me about checking things and confirming details. Clean and tidy aswell (even brought his own kettle!).    Would definitely recommend for any carpentry or joinery.
