Stanwoods
I bought my first records at Stanwoods in West Street, Rochford in 1961/2.
At the back of the electrical store was a small record department with 2 standing listening booths. At that time we borrowed a record player before buying a Defiant model at the Co-op store in Southend.
Those first records were precious as had to save hard earned pocket money. I still have a Stanwoods record paper bag.
The record department was short lived and soon disappeared and as mentioned the store was taken over by Rumbleows before finally closing. Chris Jones
