Memories Of My Youth
A Memory of Penge.
I still have the blanket for my pram that my grandmother had bought in Rogers. That was about 1955.
I remember going into Woolworths on Saturday with my pocket money. I also worked in there on Saturdays when I was 15. I also worked in the Co-op on a Saturday in the furniture section upstairs .
Also queuing up outside the Odeon on a Saturday. I remember going to see Cliff Richard"s Summer Holiday and one of Hayley Mills films. I think it might have been The Moonspinners.
Kennedys shop I just loved the pies in there !
Macks the chemist. I remember the glass bottles with coloured liquid inside.
Fosdicks. I used to buy Painting by Numbers in there.
My mother bought my school uniform, have forgotton the name which was opposite the butchers on the corner.
There was also a shop called Greg next door which I think sold cold meats, butter etc.

Mini Hovis and Cottage loafs and others, I used to pester my Mum to buy me one. Then just nibble all the way home.
