Batersea County Shol
A Memory of Battersea.
Hi
I went to Battersea county school in culvert road from 1969 - 1975 I was in Tower house I have been on facebook but cannot seem to locate many people from that time..
My maiden name was Jenner and I knew some really nice people.
I lived in culvert rd in a massionette above the shops.
I used to go to the youth club at Battersea county school with friends who lived in the flats opposite my block lynn,debbie and ann.
I the used to go to
rollo court on a Friday where every other week was a disco.
On a Saturday I worked in Adele hairdressers.
A lot of years have gone by and I now live in kent but I will always be a Londoner at heart one day I will go back to Battersea probably with my grandson and show him where I came from and what momentous things happened back in the day.
I used to go to Battersea high st for pie mash on a Saturday and sometimes in school lunchtime if I had the money. I also used to go Saturday morning pictures at the Granada.
I also worked in Walters on a Saturday before I left school.
I used to drink in the Battersea Fair, The Eagle, The queen Victoria, British flag and the cricketers even though I was very young.
My first proper date was when I was taken to the cricketers and I had too much to drink and I was so sick when I got home but I did not tell my date I was so nervous and thought I was grown up but I was only a kid.
In the summer time I used to go to the jungle in Battersea park and to the fair when it was open also every year we used to go to the easter parade.
I used to go swimming in the Latchmere baths a lot as well.
Sadly I have lost contact with my family due to petty sqabbles something I regret but cannot undo.
I also went to Falconbroook and Chesterton schools before attending batters county.
If anybody knew me it would be lovely to hear from you I am also on Facebook though only just started so have not quite got the hang of it as I have already accidently deleted off people who wanted to be friends and I cannot seem to get them back as I have tried.
Hopefully speak to somebody soon
