Our History

Maurice Metcalfe continued the lawn mower business and some black smith work in Pound Place until 1987.

In 1987 following much local opposition Sainsbury's opened a new Superstore in Eltham. For them to do this it meant demolition of most of Pound Place. Agreement was reached and a new purpose built building was completed in Passey Place for J.Metcalfe & Son.

In January 1987 the new shop opened in Passey Place offering modern purpose designed workshop, showroom and storage areas. In 1987 the Eltham Society awarded the building the Best New Building Of The Year Award.

In 2002 J.Metcalfe & Son celebrated their 200^th year, as main service agents for all the major lawn mower manufacturers, including Flymo, Qualcast and Atco, specialising in Lawn Mower sales, spares and repair.

On 18th February 2006 Maurice Metcalfe closed the shop door for the final time and started his long overdue retirement.
