Maggie Richardson

Categories: Commerce

Sold flowers at "Maggie's Corner" for 60 years.

This lovely evocative photo (found for us by Denis Hoare) comes from Jonnie3 at Flickr where it is captioned 'Oxfam shop, Hampstead High Street, London 1966' and where Adrian has added the comment: "Maggie the flower seller now has a plaque on the side of the building that replaces this one - she'd been there since about 1920."
