Westwood Secondary

A Memory of Welling.

I lived at 111 Danson Crescent right by the gates to Danson Park, I went to Westwood School and played for their football team this would have been in the early sixties. I used to sell the Evening news and Standard papers on the corner of Welling high St next to the bank. At sixteen I got a job in London and I remember walking up Danson Cres then up to the train station every morning and evening. That was a long walk, and of course I would usually be late catching the 5 past 8 train to London Bridge station. 1966 I moved to Vancouver Canada where I operated my own business.
I will be returning to Welling May this year 2017 and try and do the same walk up Danson Cres to the train station, may be a little tougher now at 71 years old
