Canterbury Road
A Memory of Garlinge.
I remember well spending my summers in Garlinge during the late 50's and early 60's, my grandparents owned a bungallow also known as 'Hawthorns' next door my great uncle owned another bungallow also, he was manager of the garage where the new petrol station is today, across Bridge Road was the most intriguing of houses with a thatched roof, at that time it was owned by a builder who I believe was a Mr T Wing he was also the builder of this house and this house backed onto his builders yard, there must have been another building in this location, because though my memory is a bit vague now on one of the walls of this building was printed:
T Wing Builders.
The news agents a little further along Canterbury road which was owned by Mr Hopkins a retired policeman. From his shop I bought my bubblegum and matchbox toy cars. Does anyone else have memories of this area? To be cont.
