Belfour & Everett Streets, Nine Elms

Hi, I was born in Everett Street in 1949 my parents were Ted and Alice Buxton i also remember going to Battersea Park and the Fair as a young child, altho we all moved from the street as it was being pulled down in 1950, and we moved to Walworth Road area i do remember going to John Ruskin school and on returning home to find all the mums sitting outside there homes knitting waiting for us and i would have every night jam sandwiches and a cup of tea and a home made tea cake on fridays at a young age i would walk home from school on my own has my mother had twins 3 years younger than myself and could not every day pick me up, we did have a family called Farmers to the right of us and we were no 37 Everett St, sorry have know photos the streets were demolished soon after the 1950s

My family were the McGraths and the Kearneys, most if not all of whom moved away from the area prior to WWII. That part of London is now almost as much of a distant memory as the warren of narrow streets that was swept away by the Aldywich Development Scheme of 1900. When London isn't being destroyed by the Luftwaffe the slack is taken up by British developers.

Hello Irene Buxton, I remember you and brother Teddy and sister whose name I forget. I thought the Watkins lived one side of you and Tommy Walcot lived the other side. You played with my sister Maureen. Barry McDonnel (No. 45) made contact a while back, and tells me he is still in contact with Tommy Walcot who lives in Rochester, Kent. I hope you're keeping well, I'll come back to this site to see if you have replied today is 29.9.2015

My wife's grandmother Margaret Marshall lived at 33 Everett Street in 1911 as head of the house, a single mother with three children Charles (12), Rose (9) and Ivy (4). A boarder Charles Leach was 34. Margaret and Charles were later married on April 20 1914 and lived at 13 Belfour Street. Their children were Frederick in 1917 and my wife's mother Dorothy (Peg) in 1920. They are all gone now and we did not live there.
