RECOLLECTIONS

Besides the 10–15 stools at the counter, at the back they had a post office counter that sold stamps, etc.

I don't remember that there were tables in the shop, but there was a larger area at the front of the shop.

I remember the Golden Galleon very well in the late 1950s when the Browns ran it.

There were tables, a jukebox, a soda fountain with stools and a post office which had followed the Browns after leaving Usher's convenience store. Mr. Brown passed away in the early years of the business and his wife carried on with the cafe and of course the post office.

What I recall in particular were their fish and chips. The deep frier was at the back and they had a good take-out business. Many a Friday night we picked up an order neatly wrapped in a page of the daily Colonist.
