  Joan Clarke Added: 2 Feb 2021 10:54 GMT | Avondale Park Gardens My late aunt Ivy Clarke (nee Burridge) lived with her whole family at 19 Avondale Park Gardens, according to the 1911 census and she was still there in 1937.What was it like in those days, I wonder, if the housing was only built in 1920?

 ken gaston Added: 16 Jan 2021 11:04 GMT | Avondale Park Gardens My grandmother Hilda Baker and a large family lived in number 18 . It was a close community and that reflected in the coronation celebration held on the central green . I grew up in that square and went to school at Sirdar Road then St. Clements it was a great place to grow up with a local park and we would also trek to Holland Park or Kensington Gardens .Even then the area was considered deprived and a kindergarden for criminals . My generation were the first to escape to the new towns and became the overspill from London to get decent housing and living standards . Reply |

Ken Herlingshaw Added: 17 Jun 2023 18:35 GMT | Clarendon Road - post WW2 I used to live at 62 Clarendon Road, from about 1947 to 1956. It was one of four prefabs on the site, numbers 60, 60A, 62 and 62A. The original building there (on the corner with Lansdowne Rise) was bombed during WW2. Prefabs weren’t very popular with the up-market Kensington Borough councillors, however, and at the earliest opportunity they were demolished and we were moved to Henry Dickens Court. We inherited a telephone line from the original occupier, a band leader, when we moved into the prefab and the phone number was BAYswater 0050. But we didn’t know anybody else with a phone to call.
