This would be later on in his career. A lock up shop in the market area of Petticoat lane.
I found this piece in the 'Staffordshire Sentinel' dated 1st October 1960:
“BACK home in Jamaica little LAUREL AITKEN was crowding so many songs on
the West Indies Hit Parade that it was almost getting to be monotonous.
In the last six months alone Laurel has penned, recorded and put many
songs into the Top Twenty. Even now the most hummable tune in Calypsoland
is Laurel’s “Little Sheila.” Everybody in the island’s Hit Parade was
getting to be a one-man band. So one day, to the relief of Laurel’s rivals,
his teenaged fiancee made a decision. “Ah’ve decided,”
said 18-years-old Gloria Williams, “that you’ve got to prove yourself
before we get married.” Laurel thought his Hit Parade record spoke for itself.
“No, I mean in the major league.” replied Gloria firmly,
“On the British Hit Parade.” So the West Indies bestselling ace packed
his bags and arrived in England last week unheralded, unannounced and
unknown, except to West Indian migrants. Luckily he found Mr. Emil E. Shalit,
boss of the Melodisc label, which has put such West Indies performers
as Lord Kitchener, Lord Beginner and Cy Grant on the disc map.
When I called at the Melodisc studios Laurel was rocking with Sammy Davis intensity.”
