Leading Lighting StoresSkip to main content

Name: Brian Peters
Comment: When I started buying records at the age of 11, I used Cross Street, which was quite small, but stocked all the new releases, I remember getting Surrender by Elvis [Presley] the day it was released, it was still trading in 1968. I also used Leading Lighting in Chapel Market, and also a stall in Baron Street off the market run by a man called Will who got his stock from Albert Records on Holloway Road. I got some great soul records from him. He stopped trading in the early 1970s.

I found this in the 'Holloway Press' dated 26th November 1948:
“Records! Records! Records! OUR SPECIALITY - English, American, Italian, etc., on all makes. LEADING LIGHTING, 75, Chapel Market N.1. Ter 6959.”
...and this in the 'Evening News (London)' dated 1st February 1956:
“LEADING LIGHTING & RADIO STORES, 75 Chapel Market, Islington.”
