I lived in Morden after my parents moved there after the war until 1961 first St Helier Ave then Easby Cres, where my 93 yr old parents still live, and went to Canterbury Primary then Willow High School from 1954,I used to attend the jazz club at the Crown as a young teen, worked for a while at Disc Records and watched the old Crown demolished, then in 1965 before emigrating at worked Hudson Brothers in the new office block Crown House
I remember visiting Santa at the Morden Co-op, Morden Park had small childrens pool and Morden Hall Park as a child fishing for tiddlers and the fetes we had there with local film stars attending, remember "Roman Hill" in Morden Park and The George, I married in St Lukes. Remember attending Saturday morning pictures at the Gaumont Rosehill which later became a Bingo Hall, and the Odeon cimema repleced by a Supermarket
