Mitcham a lovely little place, here you used to catch the buses to Sutton and beyond, the picture house and opposite the pictures used to be a sweet shop where I can remember Mars bars used to cost 2/6 in old money, gobstobbers that used to fill your mouth for 1d.  The walk home to the flats up St Marks Road.  The trolley buses that used to run to West Croydon and the antics seen when the pole came off.  Lovely days.  The teddyboys used to hang out round Huttons shop.  Now living in Norfolk I wonder what Mitcham looks like.
