(Query: It was 'Sweet Charity', a charity clothes shop, during the 1990s). A photo of the interior from April 1994 is in Marilyn Yurdan's "The Changing Faces of the Cowley Road". Thomsons Directory 1988 and 1995 list Sweet Charity as No 7

1975-1991

An image from 1975 can be seen here
It shows Harry Slater's fishmongers at No 3 and at No 5 the signboard read simply "5 Cowley Road". In Kelly's Directory 1976 No 5 was listed as J McCann secondhand goods dealer and a sign visible in the photo says "Anything Bought". A photo of April 1991 in Marilyn Yurdan's "The Changing Faces of the Cowley Road" shows the Harry Slater sign still there (though the shutters are down), and the "5 Cowley Road" sign is partly fallen down, though clothes are still hung up for sale.

1932

Kelly's Directory of 1932 and the 1976 directory both list number 3 as Harry Slater fishmonger

Kelly's Directory of 1932 lists number 5 as being the premises of Mrs Mary Davidson, milliner.
