If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

I started going there every Friday night from 1959. They were great times and many great bands played there in the Trad Jazz revival years. Ken Colyer, Sandy Brown, Alex Welsh, Mike Daniels, Humph, Ken Simms, Alan Elsdon etc.

I was born in Croydon 1950 and as a child use to play where the Fairfield halls now stand their use to be a car park and a fireing range and opposite side of the road where the nestles building stands was a fire station
