Shared Memories of Thornton Heath
 Thornton Heath, the Station c1947 (ref: T262018) |
Year: 1946
Thornton Heath, High Street
My family moved back to Thornton Heath, to 35 Gilsland Road, just off the High Street, at the end of the war and stayed until 1951. United Dairies was the shop on one corner and next to that a sweetshop and tobacconists and then on to the Co-op which extended round the corner of Nursery Road. On the other corner was Pearks from where sadly my little brother had his brand new Gresham Flyer 3-wheeler bike stolen - I remember Festival of Britain memorabilia being displayed in the windows of the Co-op and the last tram going down the High Street. Iles was the shop opposite Gilsland Road where my Nan used to buy lino for her living room. I joined the Brownies in the hall at the side of St. Albans Church and went to Whitehorse Primary School - we would buy a 1d apple from the grocers shop (up 3 steps to the door) on the way to school.

Hansom Carriage
I can still remember the sound of the horse's "clipperty-clopp" as we went home in the hansom carriage after arriving at Thornton Heath station - I must have been about eight years old at the time - I always looked forward to our ride home. Last edited: 06/09/2007 18:27 by Rita Francis |
