Happy Memories Of Clapham In The 50s 60s
A Memory of Clapham.
I was born in Stonhouse Street in 1948, attended Stonhouse Street School and MacCaulay School. My father worked for Simonds Brewery on Wandsworth Road and my mother worked in the Sunlight Laundry in Acre Lane. Like other memories written about Clapham, I enjoyed playing on the common and in Grafton Square on the swings and allotments that used to be there and in the air raid shelter. Since getting married (in Holy Trinity on the common) and moving away in 1971, I have been back a few times, reliving really happy memories, but like everywhere else it has changed a lot.
