Or long-departed undertakers in the case of Chalker's Corner (where the
A316 crosses the South Circular in Mortlake).

Chalkers were still there within my memory (i.e. the last ten years or
so, when I was at school in the area...)

You must have only just missed their demise, which was in 1993 as I
recall. The corner shop became a veterinary surgery in 1994. But I
predict that the junction will continue be known as Chalker's Corner for
many years to come in traffic reports - Medivet's Corner doesn't have
quite the same ring to it!
