Manor Road

A Memory of Erith.

With reference to the photo Erith High St, 1965. I am one of the young men in the photo (the taller one), my name is Alan Pointer. I lived at 7 Manor Road from 1948-1965. I can relate to some of the places and names in the write-ups. Burtons rock n roll nights, the Odean, Len's fish and chip shop, the White Hart, the Prince of Wales, and of course Knappers. The comments were read with mixed thoughts, a peep into the twilight zone! With thoughts of emotions and perceptions of time and memories of a long past world I once lived in. I'm still alive and kicking and live in Bristol.

Hi Alan, I am Yvonne Blake wife of Len Blake who lived in Manor Rd. Len named lot's of the places you did plus a theatre group he used to play in when home on leave from the RAF. I have been communicating with Audrey on this page too. scrumping at knappers is still a memory to me. so is the memory of the boys sending me in a field with "cows" and telling me to round them up, untill the bull charged me and i cleared the fence in one go. little buggers. Len passed away in Dec 2015 after 20yrs of parkinsons disease. nice to here your memories. Von
