Graces Road

A Memory of Camberwell.

My Mother was born in Graces Road in Aug 1893 in her parents house with her eight Bros/Sisters until she married my father in 1918, on leave from France. In 1920 they moved to Green Lane, Thornton Heath. I was Born in 1930. On special occasions we would go by bus to her parents, Graces Road, via Brixton. While changing buses she would go into Hemmings and buy a cake called "Hemmings Delite" for all her family. During the day we would go to Brixton Police Station to see the horses and feed them. This Continued until 1937. While Living in Green Lane I used to watch the Crystal Palace fire works from my bedroom window. I also watched Crystal Palace burn down.
