Site: Susan Garth (1 memorial)

2025: Mr Little put us on to the excellent Ladbroke Association where we found: "The Red Lion Arcade at Nos. 165-169 was the first arcade to be opened in Portobello Road in 1951. Until then, the dealers all sold from individual shops or from stalls in the road. The founder was Susan Garth, and there is a plaque to her on one of the buildings."
See June Aylward for a related claim.
