William Mcrea In the Lower Precinct opposite the Round Café? I used to go there all the time. I bought the LP Yesterday’s Dreams by the Four Tops from there in the Autumn of ‘68.

William Mcrea Aparently mum use to say to me that Mr Fennel was a great person and he would try his hardest to get records that people wanted. I don't remember him when I was a child. But I remember when we left Coventry to move to Cornwall. We use to go to Coventry for a holiday. And remember him then. Lovely bloke. Use to give me picket money
Fennells was the best record shop . Just below the Circular Cafe. Derek Fennell was very knowledgeable about the stock. If it was in the shop, Derek knew where to find it. Great memories

My Mum (Elsie Billings)worked as a cleaner at Fennell's in Spon Street & in the Lower Precinct. My Grandmother (Elsie Whitehouse) lived in the house behind Fennell's in Spon Street through the archway opposite the GEC.
