Shared Memories of Carshalton

  Year: 1930s The Grove Bakery
Family history tells me that my grandfather, G J Morris, was the proprietor of this bakery before he died in 1940.  My uncle, H J Morris, ran the tobacconist, newsagent, sweet shop on the corner in Wallington.  I was born in Foxley Lane before a Buzz bomb fell on our garden on 29th June 1944.  If anyone has any old photos or information on these memories I would love to hear from them.

I attended St Philomena's School from 1951 - 1960. I have been living in Australia since 1963 and am visiting England in September 2008 when I will be attending the OGA Reunion at St Philomena's on 13th September.

I LIVED IN WINDBOROUGH ROAD FROM 1956-1961. WE LIVED AT NUMBER 68 WITH MY PARENTS AND GRANDPARENTS. MY DAD TOLD ME HE TOOK CLIFF RICHARD TO SCHOOL ON THE BACK OF HIS BIKE! MY MEMORIES ARE THE "GEM SHOP" WHERE WE WOULD BUY JUBILEES, AND THE "WRECK" PARK. ALSO AS A TREAT WE WOULD GO TO THE SMALL HOLDING WHICH I THINK WAS AT THE TOP OF PINE RIDGE. ALSO WE LIVED NEXT DOOR TO DR AND MRS EICHWALD AND THEIR GRANDCHILDREN WERE ACTORS KIKA, PETRA AND PAUL MARKHAM. WE MOVED TO STEVENAGE BUT WE VISITED REGULARY. I WOULD LOVE TO KNOW IF ANY ONE REMEMBERED MY DEAR GRANDPARENTS WINNIE AND WALLY BLAKEY? SUCH HAPPY MEMORIES.
