Fond Memories Of Old Coulsdon

A Memory of Old Coulsdon.

Remember Old Coulsdon well, moved there when I was 9 or 10 in 1963. My father worked for the CEGB in Croydon. We left Old Coulsdon in 1972 for South Africa where I still stay today. Went to Keston Primary and later to Taunton Manor High, worked at Newby's as a paper boy and also at South Downs Timber Coulsdon on Saturdays and have very fond memories of Oak Hall Youth group Caterham. When I left school I was going to become a Lawyer gave that up and in South Africa became a mining Engineer. Favourite Pubs were The Fox and The Tudor Rose. Still remember the Bobby on his bike - how times have changed. South Africa was a big culture shock after living in Old Coulsdon for over ten years.
