Growing Up In Streatham
A Memory of Streatham.
I grew up in Streatham and lived in Blegborough Road off of Mitcham Lane. I attended Granton Road Primary School in Streatham Vale and later Ensham County Secondary School for Girls in Tooting. I met my late husband when I was 15 and he was 19 and he worked in the garage at the end of Blegborough Road, Smith and Maslin. I remember Sainsburys in Mitcham Lane with the old marble topped counters where they used to pat out the butter and The Thrale public house frequented when I was old enough. I attended ballet lessons and tap dancing lessons at a local dancing school run by Mrs Zipeure whose husband was Canadian. I moved to Sutton when I got married and later to Old Coulsdon, where we lived for over 29 years until my husband retired when we moved to Worthing.
I have fond memories of Streatham Ice Rink, my second home! The Rumbling Tum cafe, the Rookery - Happy Days.
Christine Heydinrych nee Howell.
