Balham Hill Flats

A Memory of Balham.

I lived in Hillier Road Battersea from 1952 - 1964 and went to Honeywell primary school. As a 15y.o in 1962 the highlight of my week was going to the Balham Hill flats with my mates to a club run by Mrs Boyland. I had several friends including Lionel Challis and big Eddie. I was mesmerised by two of the prettiest girls I ever saw, Christine Appleton and Janet Rayner who used to dance so well. If I remember rightly the group that played there were called the Kingsmen and I once played drums for them when their resident drummer was off sick.
