I often wondered where Brian had gone. Thanks for the info. I knew Albert Meli from around Imperial Street (chippie) Is he a brother of Gerry's? Brian was a real handsome lad and had a great personality. He loved to mimic Elvis and he had the Elvis quiff and the suede shoes with the crepe soles. Can still see his lovely white teeth!!!!

Phew - 1940s and 50s and probably until around 1963. His barber shop was next door to a tailor's!!!! Yes a tailor believe it or not. His name escapes me at the minute but I will try to remember.P.S. I can remember the boys next door to us telling us about the OTHER things he sold as well as haircuts!!!!!
Could be doing the double. Just a thought
