Growing Up

A Memory of Mitcham.

I was known as Digger Dawson back in the days. My mates and I used to have a crafty fag on beehive bridge when in our early teens. I will always remember Armfield Crescent, Fair Green, the cricket green, leo's lollies, broken biscuits, St. Marks School. The place has changed a lot since then. Last time I was there I got lost! Trams were running and my mate Dennis Brown was being a right anorak and taking down bus numbers. Memories of Bob Rogers, Mick Gray, Dave Cabot, Pat Brunton - to name a few. The best was trying to eat an orange jubbly, they were enormous! Lovely.
