Purvis and Hedley
Although i didnt know Bob Purvis, apart from visiting the shop all through my childhood, and remember him behind the counter, as a pleasant , polite man.
Later in life, when i had moved to Newcastle and worked at J.G Windows the music store, he used to visit now and then to collect printed music, which may have been for customers in Amble?, or prehaps for his own use.
I was thrilled to read his story and see the photo, its thanks to forums like this that the bravery of men like Bob Purvis DFC are brought to light,
Well done.
