When we lived in Wallington from 1965 to 1972, I remember going into Mantles the newsagent/sweetshop and buying sweets for my little brother and I.
The town hall and library are situated behind here and looking down the high street which has not changed a great deal to this day were all the shops and the railway station. Fond memories indeed of our years in Wallington.

RE: RE: Childhood Memories

My first job was as a paperboy in Mantle's Newsagents in the early 1980s.  Although the area has been developed quite a bit most of the buildings remain the same and driving through the area always brings my childhood flooding back.
