JP (2017, e.2020):

From 1916 until 1930 this was an optician's. It was then a private house for a number of years. In about 2009 it became Siena Fashions, later Katie and Jo, and quite recently POM.

Ron Elam, local historian and postcard collector

For many years in the 1980s and 1990s [are these the right dates?] Ron, a local historian (and much else) who built a unique collection of postcards and photographs of our area, ran a stall nearby on Saturday mornings showing his phenomenal collection and taking orders for framed reproductions. Many local shops (for example the Bellevue Pharmacy) still display the images he provided.

In November 2019 Ron received a Wandsworth Civic Award from the Mayor of Wandsworth at a special awards ceremony at the Civic Suite.

Before he retired this summer, Ron served as a school governor in numerous Wandsworth schools for 50 years, most recently at Chesterton where he made a valuable contribution. In addition he has sat on and chaired independent admissions and exclusions appeal panels in Wandsworth and has participated in some 300 Ofsted inspections.
