Played on the bombsites (no health and safety then) A Coal man Mr Bells lived in the road and kept his horse in a stable across the road from where he lived. Fibre glass factory which made large figures etc for fairgrounds was down a mews which no longer exists. Prefabs on the bend where Doreen, a friend of my mums lived with her two daughters. Alan and Alex who?s mum and dad were also friends of my parents lived near the priory pub. the pub is now residential flats. Alex was another boy who lived just a couple of doors along from me as was Colin. The house was knocked down in 1964 and the site is now an adventure playground. The only thing left I recognise is my old sycamore tree which grew in my garden which I could often be found climbing. Never fell out of it ! |
Allen Waters Added: 18 Jan 2018 23:19 GMT IP: 151.224.33.53 2:3:14950 | Post by Allen Waters: Lansdowne Gardens, SW8 I used to live at no. 27 from 1950-1961. My family had the large room on the ground floor a bedroom on the 2nd floor and a room in the attic. There were several other families who came and went over the years, as well as landlords. We had a landlord for a time called ?Gethin?. I used to play with my friends in the road as there were few cars then. We used to use the lamppost next to house as a cricket wicket and it?s still there. I can remember swings in the green and a parkeeper there with a coal brazier in the winter. I was a choirboy at St Barnaby?s, I remember a bagwash near the church when the houses were demolished to build the estate. There used to be a row of shops and I particularly remember one called ?gallies? a sweet shop where you could get a penny drink and they put gas in it for you. Schools I went to were Priory Grove, then Al Message truncated Show whole message |

There were plants surrounding this wonderful play area, two playground attendants ,also a shelter for when it rained. The children were constantly told off by the playground keepers for touching the plants or kicking the ball out of the permitted area, there was hopscotch as well, all these play items were brick apart from the slide. Pollock was the centre of my universe and I felt sorry and still do for anyone not being born there. To this day I miss it and constantly look for images of the streets around there, my sister and me often go back to take a clumped of our beloved L Message truncated Show whole message |

Robert smitherman Added: 23 Aug 2017 11:01 GMT IP: 2.220.194.137 2:8:14950 | Post by Robert smitherman: Saunders Street, SE11 I was born in a prefab on Saunders street SE11 in the 60’s, when I lived there, the road consisted of a few prefab houses, the road originally ran from Lollard street all the way thru to Fitzalan street. I went back there to have a look back in the early 90’s but all that is left of the road is about 20m of road and the road sign. |
