Old Tooting
A Memory of Tooting.
I lived in Derrinton Road from the 1940s to the 1960s. We moved there after being bombed out at age of two. Had a good childhood even in war time. Dad was in the R.A F, mum was busy, so my elder brother and I had plenty of freedom. We left the house after breakfast and as long as we were back for dinner we were not missed. Our play ground - bomb sites, we were never bored - no toys but lots of friends.
I would not change my childhood for these modern electronic times.
In 1960s moved to Barringer Square, Newlands Estate. Better housing but not so much fun - the inside toilet was great in winter. I now Live in Australia, I still miss the old England.
