I was born in 1961 in Charing Cross Hospital & spent my first 25 years living in Fulham - firstly in Holyport Road until I was about 17, then New Kings Road for a few years and then Hestercombe Avenue for another few years until I moved out of the area. I absolutely loved growing up in Fulham alongside mum and dad and my three older brothers. Apparently there were 10 people living in our house when I was born, ...see more

I was born in St Olafs Rd number 22 in 1946. Remember the Wilkins, Tickles Everett Dwyers Harley Drewit's Fennells and so many more. I lived at 46 when I was married leaving Fulham in 1968 for the South West where I am still living today. Still consider my home as Fulham though the roots run deep 😊
Hi,
I'm researching my family, who I have recently discovered lived on Bayonne Road, Fulham during the 1940's and 1950's (maybe before and after as well).
I would love to hear from anybody that knows of them, or who has memories of what Bayonne Road would have been like back then.
They were the Harringtons. I'm particularly interested in Rose, who married in to the Kelly family.
My email is singlemumwithalitter@gmail.com

Memories - Anyone living in Chesilton Road during the 50's 60's and early 70's? St Edmund's RC school St Dunstans Road? Fulham Hospital now Charing Cross Hosp?
I grew up living in Kingwood Road in the flats, firstly the last block 25a then when I was 5yrs to the first block 1f, which holds most of my memories.
We would, as kids in the street, roller skate, play hopscotch, stretch our skipping ropes across the road to the other side so a group of us girls could jump in and out, and the boys would play football down the centre of the road. We would sit on the pavement ...see more
My parents lived in Fulham in the 30's and met at what was called 'the rec' the grounds that now have sporting facilities on. Both my grandparents lived there until their deaths. One in Bayonne Rd and one in Buer Rd. I spent lots of time in Fulham as a child in the 50's and early 60's. I played over the recreational park as well as often outside the house in Bayonne Rd.
The flats in Buer Rd were three story where my ...see more
