My Father And Muirheads

A Memory of Beckenham.

My father Sid Ford used to take the Muirhead swimming club. He did it for years during the 1950's. My father was the Assistant Suprintendent of Beckenham Swimming Baths and worked there for forty six years until he retired in the 1970's.

My father, Frank Horstead, worked at Muirhead Instruments Limited until we moved to a branch plant in Stratford, Ontario in 1965. I do not know when he started at Muirhead, but he was fairly young when he did, and he was born in 1927. We lived at 2 Kelsey Square, then 20 Cedars Road, and finally 63 Durban Road. I cannot believe how much those houses sell for now.
