chris of chris of london - london

I left Stoke Newington for a flat next to Harringay Green Lanes Station sometime in 2000. Chris ran a proper, old-fashioned barber's shop (3 chairs, tabloid newspapers to read while you waited, a stand ash tray etc) downstairs. It became the place where I got my hair cut.

After three years, I moved to Walthamstow, but I carried on getting my hair cut there until one day I came back and found the shop shut; when I tried again a couple of weeks later and it was still shut, a little bit of investigation revealed that Chris had had a heart attack. He survived, but sold the shop on.

Now it's a much trendier place run by genuine young turks (I always assumed Chris was Greek) and I haven't been able to bring myself to get my hair cut there again. And being a creature of habit, I've failed to take the plunge with a new barber, and have reverted to having my hair cut at the red barbers, when I'm back in Glasgow for the weekend.

I still buy meat from Baldwins, the butchers, up the road a bit though...

(This photo was on a roll of expired agfa that I've been meaning to develop since some time in 2007 or 2008; last week, I finally got round to it)
