Nostalgic memories of Fulham's local history
Share your own memories of Fulham and read what others have said
For many years now, we've been inviting visitors to our web site to add their own memories to share their experiences of life as it was when the photographs in our archive were taken. From brief one-liners explaining a little bit more about the image depicted, to great, in-depth accounts of a childhood when things were rather different than today (and everything inbetween!). We've had many contributors recognising themselves or loved ones in our photographs.
Why not add your memory today and become part of our Memories Community to help others in the future delve back into their past.

My father owned a couple of menswear shops in north end road in the 1960s and 1970s called Lewis Kaye. I was brought up above the shop at 234 North End Road. I have very fond memories of the shop and the market in those days. Does anybody remember Gadds the fruit and veg stand? I can still smell the beet roots being freshly boiled. Rosemans the tailors took over 234 and my father just ended up with 228 with a giant ...see more
The chocolate box sweet shop in Vanston Place. Going to the Science Museum every Sunday on the district line stopping off at Earls Court to get a chocolate eclair from the bakers opposite the station. Playing run outs, knock down ginger and British bulldog in the flats. The man who came round the flats and sang every Sunday morning. We used to throw money out of the window to him. I remember he only had one arm. ...see more
I moved here with my parents in - I think - 1959 from a shared council flat (remember them?) It was new at the time. We had maisonette 179 on the 7th & 8th floors and I was impressed (age 8) at being able to go downstairs to the library without going outside. I seem to remember a laundrette on the ground floor too.
We escaped about 18 months later as the concrete was still damp from construction (much mildew ...see more
Does anyone remember a bakers shop whose trade name was " Percy Joyce" or similar? Trying to trace for family tree.
I was brought up in Sir Oswald Stoll Mansions where disabled soldiers were sent to live; there was a clinic there for their wounds to be dressed. We were the Maxwell family. There was a group of children we all had something in common - our Dads, who I have to say could be very strict and difficult at times. The one game we played constantly was 'One, two, three and a dot' which consisted on ...see more
I am moving into number 2 Clancarty Road, St Mathews Vicarage and I am trying to find out its history. Can anyone help?
All of our family lived around the Broadway area in the 50`s. My dad had 2 brothers and 2 sisters. Sister's married names were Eaton & Calcot. My uncle, Jim Calcot, was the manager of the Red Hall cinema. We used to kid people we owned The Jolly Maltsters pub in Farm Lane even though most of the family used The Weavers. My sister, Margaret and I, went to Halford Rd school and Margaret, 4 years older than me, had ...see more
I was born in and grew up in 90 Shorrolds Road. We had some great times, no money but that didn't matter. We were always out in all weathers on our skates then bikes and then scooters. I went to Sherbrooke Road school, passed the 11 plus and went to Sloane Grammar School. I left Fulham in 1981 and went to live in Basingstoke where I still live.
I married and have 2 sons which has resulted in 4 grandsons. I am still ...see more
I was born in Fulham at the Parsons Green Maternity Hospital in 1948. Our family lived in Shorrolds Road, which we shared with my mother's uncle and his wife.
My friends and I used to go to BHS in North End Road to have a hot chocolate and chat up the local girls and then take them out on our scooters, great days.
I now live in South Humberside which is a far cry from Fulham, but I will always have fond memories of the sixties and my home town.
I lived in Burlington Road, at No.1 - it was called Jubilee Terrace, and was built to commemorate one of Queen Victoria's Jubilees. There was a pottery at the New Kings Rd end of Burlington Road which was built way back in the reign of King Charles (I don't remember which one!) I was told that our houses, 4 in total were built for the master potters of said pottery. I went to All Saints Primary School which was also in ...see more
