I left Croydon in 1954, as a child of 9. I remember Kennards as a place of wonder, full of joy. I specifically remember the day when they had a fish stream in their basement, a real stream, concocted of metal channells. I remember St Mary's Church and the school where I went, and of being caned. It was a wonderful time, and I miss it, and Rupert, and Sidney, and Tommy Smith.
