Childhood Memories

Hi Mark
you must be about the same age as me I went to Tulse Hill School (dump) I also went to Immanuel school as did my six brothers and sisters 50s - late 60s we were the Cormack family do you remember any of us?

My goodness I cannot believe it!! My maiden name was Sharpling. I used to live in Heybridge Avenue, my sister still does. We moved there from Clapham in 1958.Mum and Dad were there until they died in 2006. I also went to Immanuel School. You are right the old School is a Sainusburys now. The Church is still there, although reduced in size, part of it is flats. I did not go to secondary School in Streatham, went to St Saviou'rs & St Olaves in 1965, so was at Immanuel 1959-1965.

Was amazed to see your comment Ian. I certainly do remember your family, think I was in your brother Malcolm's class. You lived in Pathfield Road if I remember rightly. It feels like a hundred years ago! What great times they were, Streatham was such a great place to grow up. The Ice Rink where I spent most of my time! lots of wonderful memories.

I remember Sandra Sharpling at Immanual school. Also Malcom Cormac. My friend from my class David Mccallion lived in Heybridge Avenue. I lived at Streatham Common North until 1972. Now live in Altrincham. Good memories of Streatham and school friends.
