Cobham Terrace

A Memory of Greenhithe.

I was born at 23 Cobham Terrace in 1943 and lived there until 1953 when we moved to Swanscombe. The road was very quiet then and as children we played in the ditch across the road. This "ditch" was once the water way that connected the Thames and Greenhithe to the houses in Cobham Terrace. Our immediate neighbors were Mr & Mrs Harwood and Valerie and her brother Barry. Mrs Roe, Mr & Mrs Taylor, Mr & Mrs Skeats who had 2 sons, Colin and ?. My parents were Herbert (always called Bert) and Alice and I had a sister Joan and a brother Rodney.
