Is that Brian J Reed? Yes I visited there, and had a few mail order shipments from him. He used to advertise in the Radio Constructor.

When I visited, he looked most unhealthy, I thought how much he needed to get out into the country, not be stuck in a shop in London!

I'm still using up some glass germanium transistors I got from him in the 1980's.
