Grandfather's job 'prediction'

My grandfather (b. 1869) was a grocer in the village of Tudhoe in County Durham, in fact he had a shop with his name on the front ("Noted for finest Danish Butter; Tea 1'4/lb etc) in the early 1900s. We also have a photo of him standing with employees of the Co-operative society at their depot, which we think was taken around 1908 as my grandmother is holding a baby, probably my fathers oldest sister. On the side of the horse drawn wagon is painted "Battersea and Wandsworth Co-operative Society Ltd Regd Office 13 St Anns Hill Wandsworth". Wandsworth is a suburb of south east London. I was born and grew up in Sunderland, also in north east England, but went to university in London. During the summer term in 1983 I answered an ad for a temporary summer job posted in the students' union. The office was at 212 St Anns Hill, Wandsworth, and I ended up working there for 2 years after I graduated. Although I didn't notice the connection on the photo for several years afterwards I always thought it was amazing that my grandfather whom I never met and I were connected by this minor side road 300 miles away from home, 75 years later.
