Image of 33 Riverdale (later Lewisham Centre) branch: employee helping blind customer

Photograph taken at the Sainsbury's branch at 33 Riverdale (now 33 Lewisham Centre), Lewisham, London. The photograph is featured in JS Journal March 1975. The JS Journal article explains that "First customer in the store was 83-year-old Mrs Maud Monk; accompanied by her 'adopted Sainsbury's daughter' pretty 17-year-old Loraine Doe. Mrs Monk is blind and almost deaf. For the past two years, Loraine, a display assistant in provisions, has met Mrs Monk at the entrance to the old branch and helped her with her shopping. Said Loraine: 'We have got to know each other pretty well. She comes in every day except Saturday, which is a bit busy for her. If I know I'm not going to be in, I make sure there is someone else to take her around. She tells me all about her family and I read her letters to her as we walk around.' ".
