Happy Days

A Memory of Peckham.

Hi, my name is Kevin Watts, we lived in the flats next to the bus garage in Purdon House from 1953 to 1964. I went to John Donne School in Woods Road. Just on the left of the photo is the police station, one of the girls in my class, her name was Jennifer McFee, her father was a policeman and many a time we would visit the horses in the stables there. I think there was a army surplus store called W & HS where we as kids would buy old army gear such as helmets and belts etc, we would play on the bomb site on the corner of Clayton Road. Peckham in those days was a really nice place to grow up in and I was sorry to move when I was 16. Now I'm nearly 64, I have such happy memories.
