Nostalgic memories of Sutton's local history

Share your own memories of Sutton and read what others have said

For many years now, we've been inviting visitors to our web site to add their own memories to share their experiences of life as it was when the photographs in our archive were taken. From brief one-liners explaining a little bit more about the image depicted, to great, in-depth accounts of a childhood when things were rather different than today (and everything inbetween!). We've had many contributors recognising themselves or loved ones in our photographs.

Why not add your memory today and become part of our Memories Community to help others in the future delve back into their past.

My wife moved to Sutton 1950 aged 4, now aged 60 and living in Norfolk we are rekindling memories of such a warm and inviting town. Memories come flooding back. The railway station, the cinema, the old tree outside Trueforms where my wife worked for 10 years. We are seeking information and photos of what used to be Elm Grove and Lawsons Fish shop (now Barclays Bank we believe). Memories of Sutton from the Green in 1968 to the station.  Also any photos of Clyde Road Secondary School for girls.
The Cheam Ladies Swimming Club used to train here in the winter months when the Cheam baths were closed. Pop Worsell was our coach and trained us. Fanella Webb and Pam Turner represented GB and I won county championships.
