Hello All, I am looking for a lady named Janice Styles, she will have born between 1960 and 1966. I would imagine she is married and now going under a different surname. If you should recognise the name I would be so grateful if you could contact me and pass my details on. She will have lived in or around the Mitcham, Tooting Battersea area. Thank you so much, Kind regards,
I lived in Conway Gardens, my Nan and Grandad in Wide Way. I went to Alfred Mizen and then into Pollards Hill Secondary School. I was in the class of pupils to stay on for the first ever Sixth Form ... would love to hear from anyone else who enjoyed their time in that year.
I was born in Streatham Road in 1948 and my life long love affair with cinema began when my parents took me to the Majestic Mitcham when I was five. I could see my infants and junior school Gorringe Park out of my bedroom window and I was late nearly every day, even though I only had to cross the road. Streatham Road got busier and busier which made life more difficult, especially when I had lots of homework from grammar school. ...see more
Hi. my name is Chris Everett. I was born in a nissen hut at Ivy Gardens, Wide way pollards hill Mitcham in 1947. I remember going to St Mark's school infants and later Sherwood park junior school. Saturday morning pictures at the Majestic was always to be looked forward too. As was the Mitcham swimming bars. The annual fare on Fair Green was an event not to be missed. I was not so impressed with having my tonsils out at St Helier hospital. Loads of memories.
