Sparked a Memory for you?

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

I lived in Aldrich Crescent and to celebrate the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II, Mrs Kelly collected contributions for weeks to pay for a coach to take the residents to the seaside for the day, which seaside? Memory letting me down, was it Broadstairs?
Hallo I worked at centroniics for 10 years my name is terry chapman I lived in King Henry,s drive also went to the Hilltoppers club good times the isolation of new addington was not an issue for me
It was and is a dump, a ghetto, one road in or out, nothing was there NOTHING. I attended Wolseley and Fairchild Sec Mod.
Long time ago i walked up that path. I was born in New Addington, 65 Castle Hill Avenue then moved to Gascoigne Road until 1973. went to Wolsey Primary then to Fairchildes Secondary Modern Girls School 1964 - 1968.
