I googled Grove Road where I grew up at my nan's though we used to live in Penfold Court for a while, oh my, how this has changed. The properties in Grove Road look nothing like they used to look, and now there is a monstrosity of a station at East Fields where in the middle 1960s three years after leaving school I was the Crossing Keeper, and the land was just railway property with an old shed, but it was so clean, what's happened to Mitcham! It is changed that much!
