1940s 1952

A Memory of Orpington.

I remember the Palace cinema, Bill Evendon, Arthur Townsend, the butcher, theWhite family from "The Mount" where we tobogganed down when it snowed. I remember my friends from the Delaney family and old Ned Hugget's shop, Bruce's and Battles the baker. The Jarrets of Aynscombe Angle. My schools in Chislehurst Road and Charterhouse Road, my school friends from 1939 to 1949, so many memories. We now live in "Oz" but still come back from time to time.

I remember the Mount. My friend, Noel Jack, lived in a short street at the bottom. His dad, like mine, was a policeman stationed in St Mary Cray, before Orpington had its own police station.
