Silver Lounge
A Memory of Bexleyheath.
I also loved going to the Silver Lounge for a lovely Knicker Bocker Glory a real treat. Then we would go and look round Hides which seemed very posh. Does anyone remember the Library, a wooden building that seemed to hold many books, and the pet shop on the next corner to it where you could gaze thru the window at all the animals.

Life began on 29th January 1944 in Bexleyheath. We lived in a small conjoined house at number 12 Rowan Road.
Born to parents Leonard George and Dorothy Beresford just before the end of WW11. Bombs were still reigning on London and surrounds so I was sent to my godmothers place in Sheffield in the north of England for safety. I can’t recall this other than the houses were all entered from the back door and nobody locked their houses.
My father was an electrician at Vickers Armstrong in Crayford. He walked with a limp to the right caused he said by carrying his heavy toolbox around. I believe he worked on wiring very early “computers”… Ones that you actually walked around inside. But that is about all I knew.

My mum was a nurse at Erith Cottage Hospital and my dad was a welding inspector at Halls in Dartford. I went to Bexley Tech high school. I live in Canada now ... but great memories.
