Whatever Happened to Thomas Foulkes, Ltd?

Does anyone know the story of the demise of the famous London ship's chandler, Thomas Foulkes, Ltd? Back in the early 80s, many of us took advantage of a high US$ and bought lots of gear from TFL, and I always wanted to see the place. However, I took a copy of the 1988 catalog along with me to London last week, and followed their directions out to Leytonstone to look them up. They have vanished without a trace, and the locals said that they'd gone bankrupt a few years back. I'd appreciate hearing any further details. Thanks. Paul Mathews, KD7ZI Hi Paul, I as well I'm sad to hear that they have closed. Working for Air Canada, I used to go very often and was always amazed at the inventory. I would spend hours there, it was like a museum.I think I still have one of their catalogues somewhere in my basement. Cheers, Norm |
