My Childhood In Fulham

A Memory of Fulham.

I was born in Queen Charlotte's hospital in 1957 and lived at 139 Estcourt Road for the first 11 years of my life. We lived upstairs and my grandparents Harry and 'Flo Francis lived downstairs. I went to Sherbrooke Road school and so did my mum. We both had the same teacher Miss Peers who was a huge character!! I went to Saturday morning pictures, swam in Fulham Bathes pool and played on "the old bombsites" without a care in the world. We'd ride in the lifts of the Clem Attlee flats when visiting friends and play cowboys and Indians in the graveyard of the Catholic church that backed onto our house. Going to the outside toilet when it was pitch black, with the graveyard next to us was my only fear. Great memories.
