The Green And Heversham Rd
A Memory of Bexleyheath.
It is clear from the post from John Howard Norfolk that he and I have some shared memories.I lived at No15 Heversham Rd,Saturday morning minors at the Regal,riding the 401 or 486 to go shopping with my mother in the Broadway.playing football on the green.I attended Pelham Road Junior school and then moved on to Graham Road Secondary Modern about 1955 till 1959 when i started work.Mr Lester was the head Master a strict but fair man with a strong right hand to wield the cane.Alan Wainwright and his sister Patsy lived some way down the road and i knew him reasonably well.I knew Eric York, Rodney and Graham Tabbrett and Keith Hawkins not to leave out the girls Wendy Carr and her friend Gay Ewin all of us were of the same age so i have happy memories of those days.The dump and Bursted woods were other favoured play grounds last i heard was the woods had become a school.I drove my first car through those woods just to prove it could be done great fun.On saturday mornings when not going to the Regal and during school holidays i used to help the milkman with his deliveries.Horse and cart in those days out of the Co Op at the top of the road guess that has disappeared too.Now that i am 70 years old [born March 1944]i often look back to those carefree days and feel that i was lucky to be born at that time ,the war was over and sweet rationing was soon to stop,very important to some one the age i was then 2/0 shillings from Dad and a free reign to by what ever sweets i wanted sheer bliss.CONTACT WITH ANY OF THE ABOVE METIONED WOULD BE WELCOMED
