Upper Green West Early 1970's

A Memory of Mitcham.

My mum owned a delicatessen on Upper Green West in the early 70's.

I used to 'borrow' the odd Luncheon Voucher, and treat myself to soggy chips at the Wimpy.

We lived above the shop; And I remember a fire at Huttons chip shop.

Old Nags Head used to have go go dancers!

I learnt to swim at the small local old baths.

I also remember, when I was skint; charging drivers to park their cars in the car park behind the old cinema.

Young lads used to sell the Evening Standard in the road to 'rush hour' traffic at the lights.
