Growing up in Wallington

I moved to Osmond Gardens in Wallington when I was 4 years old. I went to Beddington Infants School, then Holy Trinity Primary School in Bute Road and finally Carshalton High School for Girls. Looking at all these photos and reading all the memories brings back my memories of growing up. My dad was a regular at the Melborne pub, opposite the station and also all the other pubs in the area. I also worked in the Greyhound pub in Carshalton and also the Fox and Hounds in Carshalton. When I was in my early twenties (I'm now 43), I worked and lived in Sutton. I visited Wallington about 6 or 7 years ago. It has changed so much but I still remember how it was in the 1970s when I was growing up. It's part of me!
