St Andrew’s Road is a wide pedestrian precinct containing the main shops in South Oxhey. In June 2009, the occupiers were, left to right, Jacksons, JHD ( Gents Hairdressers), the Gold Centre, Wimpy, Cheapjacks, Taylor Convenience Store, the late lamented Woolworths, and Homecraft.

Hi, could someone help. I was born in 1951 at 53 Blairhead Drive, where I lived with my mum and dad and older brother David, my younger sister born 1952. We moved to Hayling Road early 1960s. With Easter coming we were reminiscing about dad going down to buy hot cross buns baked on site from the bakers which was along the Sainsbury side of St Andrews Road shops. Does anyone remember what the bakers was called?
Remember my time living in South Oxhey with great affection.
Thanks for any help
Hello Christine
In answer to your question:-
The ABC was next to the record shop “Melody Corner” then the wet Fish Shop
which was next to “Sainsbury” Further up on the same side was “Pinner Green Bakeries”.
The JHD has a name and is a gents
hairdresser! And a very good one at that. Maybe do some research before you comment, just saying!!
Many thanks for pointing out the error, now corrected.
