Croydon In The Very Early 60s
A Memory of Croydon.
I used to visit the Contessa coffee bar in George Street which had a cellar where there was music and dancing, great days, it was owned by a guy called Nat Block and there was a great crowd in there most nights, especially weekends, including the Sarstedt brothers and the singer Gary Mills. And then we used to visit the Chalet Suisse coffee bar in South Croydon owned by 3 brothers Andre, Pierre and ? (Bernard?) which was where I met my lovely (then) boyfriend Claude who was on an exchange visit as a student from Paris. Wonderful days and I recently returned to Croydon - it has changed so much I did not recognise it!!!
