Shared Memories of Crystal Palace

  Year: 1965 Growing up in Crystal Palace
I was born in Stone Park Hospital Beckenham in 1958 and brought home to No 36 Palace Road.
I went to Anerley Infants and Junior School.
My memories of the surrounding area of Crystal Palace are of the pub on the corner of Palace Road, The Paxton Arms Hotel. The old Victorian railway station that I used to take a short cut through to Crystal Palace park.
I also have vivid memories of the motor car racing on Sundays, it was deafening.
We lived in a Victorian house that was spilt with us having the downstairs, bedrooms on the next floor and some else living on the top floor.
I had a wonderful time growing up in Crystal Palace.
