Boys Grammar School

A Memory of Wallington.

I lived in the Clock House estate, nominally Coulsdon but easily accessible by bike to Foxley Lane and the 234a bus (single decker to get under Wallington railway bridge) to the boys' grammar school. I was there from 1955 to 1962 and although I thought that it might, in fact it did me no harm. In particular I remember the shop over the road from the school where it had a soda fountain (Pinches store?), you ordered a drink by value and currency e.g. 2d red, 3d green etc. with a packet of Oxo crisps and a sherbert fountain, what boy could ask for more?
