Shopping With Mum
A Memory of Croydon.
I went to Coombe Hill House prep school from 1957 to1961 and remember being taken down Surrey Street with my mum and also Kennards arcade.I also remember Grants.Does anyone remember the name of the chain of fruit shops on East Croydon station where my dad used to buy fruits and nuts on a Friday night on his way back from London Bridge station ?

I’ve been looking on this sight as the old king dying reminded me that I was4yrs old and out shopping with my Aunt, we were in the Corn Chandlers in Cherry Orchard Road and the lady, I cannot remember her name, been bugging me all day, came into the shop saying the King is dead, we hurried back to my Nans in Leslie Park Road and they played funeral music all day on the radio.
The family name was Day, my grandfather, born in 1869 had a flower shop in Cherry Orchard Road.
