Yes I remember Newmart
I used to get a fair amount of stuff from them from my early forays into audio and electronics. There was a lad working there who was building his own colour tv around 1972 I guess.... that wasn't you by any chance was it?

Not long after that I discovered the delights of Electrovalue (main office Egham down south) and they had good quality components and a huge stock, much better suited to my needs at the time.

Cheers,
Steve.

PS is that your baby Elan in the pic? Nice. I have a Europa special...
