Dulwich Hamlet

The Village c1965
Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

My brother and I, Kathryn & Philip Brunker went to Dulwich Hamlet school until 1958. We then moved to Basildon, Essex. I went to the 'huts' at first, aged 4, and after visiting there in 1996, found them still to be there! Amazing. We lived at 5 Colledge Gardens, sadly gone and replaced by flats, but the backwall of our old garden still stands, overlooking the tennis courts of the colledge. I remember well, both us walking on a Saturday morning to the 'pictures', and treating ourselves to a packet of chewing gum from the machine on the wall. (1 free packet per 5 bought, causing great arguments of who buys first).
