A Schoolboy In Petts Wood

A Memory of Petts Wood.

My parents Arthur and Hilary Cork bought their house in Towncourt Crescent in 1927 from Mr Coleman for £1000. Twice a day I would walk to the station to go to school at St Dunstan's in Catford. In those days there was the Daylight Inn and only two shops, Willet's cafe and Nelson's newsagent on this side of the station. The walk along Towncourt Crescent was always difficult in winter because of the huge pot holes in the road and on the footpath. My feet were always wet before I got to school.  I left Petts Wood to come to Australia in 1949, but it is nice to see that over the years my beloved wood where I played as a child has changed very little.  Tony Cork
