Angela's Memory of High Street A memory of Bromley, Kent I worked at Market Square Cafe in 1949, fond memories of working for the Arpinos Family. Left in 1950 went to Margate to work and met my husband and I went by Rydam Boat to the USA (Mississippi) in 1955 and was married. Any one from Alsbury Road School can contact me at bobbyjones96@hotmail.com to catch up on memories. Posted: 16/06/2007 00:32 by Bobby Jones |

Additional info... A memory of Bromley, Kent Hi Martin, It was in fact Peter Frampton who lived there at number 12. His dad was the head of the art department at Ravenswood School for Boys (then Bromley Technical High), and I went to school at Pickhurst Primary with his younger brother Clive. I was in Peter's bedroom one day and saw his electric guitar hanging on the wall, must have been before he got famous though because I was about 10, so it was about 1965/66.

Clock at the entrance to the garden A memory of Bromley, Kent During the 1950's we lived in Bromley. We regularly walked through this park, and every year, perhaps I think sometimes several times a year, the design on floral clock was changed. It was full of bright plants, but was fascinating to a child as the hand moved. I have a feeling there was a special one the year the Queen was crowned.

Wolf and Hollander A memory of Bromley, Kent There were a few sizeable department stores in Bromley, including Harrison Gibson and Wolf and Hollander (whose flag you can see waving on the left). I am pretty sure it was Wolf and Hollander that suffered an extraordinary fire in the early 1960's - the smoke was visible for miles around. I was in the crowd watching it from the street itself - a significant operation with many firemen struggling to control the blaze, which lasted for hours.

Woodlea Drive A memory of Bromley, Kent I used to come down and up this road from the bus stop every day to and from school. One of the boys who grew up in this street (a house on the right as I remember) started playing for a very influential rock band called the herd. It was either Andy Bown or Peter Frampton - Andy Bown I think. They were at the forefront of psychedelic Bromley, and he was a pretty stylish resident. They are both still making great music.
