Memories of Sears Park

Sears Park c1955
Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

I have many very happy memories of playing in Sears Park as a child, collecting conkers from underneath the trees with my sister and Nan or later by myself. We often used to cut through from Cheam Road and walk along the footpath at the side of the park and then back into Cheam Village itself. I often still think of Cheam and I suppose that my wish would be to return one day. The pictures of Ewell Road, Upper Mulgrave Road also reminded me of the sweet shops that we used to call into in the village and on Mulgrave Road itself. At that time Harry Secombe used to live on Cheam Road with his Rolls Royce Siver Shadow HS 91 (I think) on his drive.

The pictures of the flower beds also brought back memories of some of the shops, Timothy Whites, Sainsbury's, and watching the butter being patted and the bacon being sliced. Happy days indeed.
