Mrs H H Morgan

In Down Your StreetVol II, Miss Kathleen Morgan talked about her family home, 42 Abbey Road. “My grandfather built this house, it was one of the first to go up. Grandfather was a University shoemaker called Ellis John Rolls… the shoemaking business was on the first floor – we always called it the shop – and customers went up to the room via a ladder at the back of the home.” Among his customers was the cricketer Ranjee.
