Pontings

A pic of Pontings in 1959 (on the corner of Ken High Street & Wright's Lane) as mentioned in the intro to the Gnu. There were 3 stores in the block, Barkers (which became Biba for a time) with its famous roof garden, Derry & Toms and Pontings. Though all 3 were owned by Barkers, they retained their individual identities.
Pontings itself closed in 1971.
