As a child, I lived next- door- but- one to Frank and Freda Bower (nee Fish) and their three daughters Caroline, Rebecca and Jane in leafy, quiet, Clapham Park London. Jane and I were born in 1942 and were friends from the the age of three until she died at the age of 59 -I was able to hold her hand and say goodbye after 56 years of friendship. Her mother, Freda, was a dear woman who was the daughter of an editor of the Daily Mail and I believe this to be Walter Fish -she would speak of one Margery Fish - the famous horticulturalist and I assume Margery was her stepmother? Frank Bower, Freda's husband, was of El Vino's fame ( founded by an uncle, Sir Alfred Bower, a former Lord Mayor?) and Frank would have been grandfather to Tess STIMSON a journalist and author, daughter of Jane. His nephew David Bower Mitchell took over El Vito's management when Frank retired and the company was originally founded by Sir Alfred Bower, a former Lord Mayor of London.
Can you help me please? I had a wonderful childhood and have many happy memories which stay vivid in my mind. I feel I should write a book.I'm eighty-one now - ouch - time is of the proverbial essence...
Thankyou.
I am Joy (Joycelyn) Heyes and now live out my last days in Budleigh Salterton...as you do. 87.114.7.212 ( talk) 18:48, 12 March 2023 (UTC)
