Growing up
I was 9 in 1959 when we moved to New Malden. Hence I spent almost my entire childhood and all my teenage years there and I know it well. My father was caretaker of the Methodist church on the corner of the High Street and Cambridge Road - opposite Tudor Williams. I went to school in New Malden, worked in New Malden, married there, and later, my son went to school there as well. Looking at the old photos on this website brings back many fond memories. After my parents died, all photos we ever had were lost, so it was wonderful to see these. I moved to Australia in 1983 and now understand that in those last 26 years New Malden has changed beyond belief. Perhaps memories are best kept as memories, but it is nice to reminisce sometimes. Does anybody remember the Guppy family from Cambridge Rd?
