l remember very well going there with my mother, and being totally fascinated by the money transporters that whizzed through the shop. In my memory the shop was larger, but of course, I was much smaller. I know we got name tags there to put in all my school clothes for Fox Lane Grammar school when I was 11. You see the ad for them Cash I think they were called, and came in a little oblong box. Thankyou for saving this memory.
Terry Askew - Resident since 1940 What a delight to see this article ?. I remember the shop so well and, particularly pre decimalisation, I recall window displays indicating prices sometimes to the nearest 'three farthings'.
Just loved Grouts and remember it well . It was the only place my mum could buy my nan's large knickers ! I used to buy all my dressmaking stuff here and loved when they wrapped things in brown paper . If this was around today it would be doing a roaring trade.
I remember going in there when I was a boy of about 6 or 7, that s around 1949, with my aunt. No idea what she was buying, but she and the shop assistant spoke in Whispers! She had a dog who got loose and several ladies chased it around the shop for a while.
I remember it very well, it was a treasure trove of wonderful things.
Amazing Video. Thank you
Amazing video. Thank you. It appears that this shop is now a Turkish bakery.

Brilliant film. I remember Grouts very well. My elderly aunts who lived in Palmers Green loved it.

I too remember Grouts, my mother would take me there when I was quite young. I used to watch the money go to the desk via the wire, fascinating :)
I remember Grouts! My mum went in there a few times
