the hole in the wall where I bought my first Doc Martens
-
My first Docs came from a similar sounding place on the Walworth Rd. looked like the cover of New Boots and Panties.
There used to be a shop like that in every area - Brutus shirts and STF Levi’s. last one I know of was in Rotherhithe. -
You could buy the same George Cox DM soled shoes in there that Robot were selling, not as much choice and no crazy colours but black suede was all I wanted anyway... Once I found that place I never went back to Robot... I'm talking '81-'83...
They also sold the crepe soled chukka boots in there for less than half what they wanted on the Kings Road, loved that little shop... On Middlesex Street? I think the black suede chukkas were £11, crazy cheap...

While we at it anybody any memories about the hole in the wall where I bought my first Doc Martens east off Brick Lane early mid Eighties? Were maybe £18, south Heneage Street possibly?
