Growing Up In Purley

A Memory of Purley.

I grew up in Lansdowne Road, Purley. On Suday evenings in the summer, we used to sit on the edge of the fountain and watch the traffic coming back from the coast. Sometimes the cars were lined up all the way back to the Regal Cinema! On VE Day, my brother Wally rolled up his trousers and paddled in the fountain. My dad used to drink at his local, "The Jolly Farmers", which is still there. We live in Canada now, but still have many happy memories of Purley.
