My father used to work at this factory in Penge as a Chemist. We moved down to Selsdon when I was five (1950) and then we moved back up to the Wirral when I was 11. Does anyone remember exactly where the factory was and does anyone remember Selsdon in those days?

Borwicks Baking Powder Factory. The entrance used to be in Franklin Road. An aunt of mine used to work there. I used to pass there on my way to school in Croydon Road. I remember Penge well and saw a lot of changes whilst living there. Seeing this old photo brings back so many memories. I lived in Blenheim Road when I was born in 1951 and left Penge in 1976.
