St. Michael's childrens' home : A memory of Chislehurst

St. Michael's Childrens' Home

A Memory of Chislehurst.

I too have fond memories of Chislehurst and in particular of St. Michael's Childrens' Home. Along with my younger sister, I spent my earlier childhood in the home from around 1958 to 1964. Many children between those years came and went. I have warm memories of my "Uncle and Auntie" North who were in charge of the home for many years. The surrounding area was (and still is) beautiful, especially the woods and nearby ponds. I always remember the lovely daily walk to Edgebury Boys' School, through the woods, silver birches round the ponds. There seemed to be red squirrels up every tree. Chislehurst is still a great place, and well worth a visit if you have not been there yet. If anyone out there was at the home at the same time as me, then please get in touch.
