Peter Eden

Is this the same Peter Eden who produced records for Deram in the late 1960s, when Decca owned the label? The last I heard of him ten years ago or so was that he is now in Leigh-on-Sea.

According to Wikipedia, Peter Eden had a record shop in Southend-on-Sea: “From the late 1970s, Eden worked full time at his record store in Southend. He helped put together bands in the town.”
... and there is a pretty comprehensive biography of Peter Eden (which confirms that he did have a record shop in Southend-on-Sea) at this link:

There is a recent interview with Peter Eden (as a Podcast), where he talks about his record shops in the mid-1970s at Westgate and then Leigh (between these timings: 1:48:23 to 1:59:14) at this link:

Ooops! I mis-heard Peter Eden talking on the Podcast – he said his first (very small) shop was in London Road, Westcliff (not Westgate), and then moved across the road to a bigger shop, but still in Westcliff. The next shop was in Leigh, which also has the London Road (A13) running through it towards Southend.
