Best Years 1940, 1950 And 1960

A Memory of Thornton Heath.

I was born in Mayday Hospital Croydon in 1940 and then lived with my sister, mum and dad in Hythe Road Thornton Heath, got many happy memories, playing football in the street as there was no cars, or playing in Grange Wood at the top of the road. Went to Beaulah Road Juniors and Ingram Secondary Modern School, played football with Thornton Heath Rovers, great memories. If there is anybody out there who can remember around the same time please get in touch especialy a Micheal Ansell who married jenny in the 1960's would love to hear from you.

Hello Alan,lovely to read your memories ! I had a temporary job in the small Tescos, when it was opposite the swimming pool. Later on I worked at the pool for a few months in approx. 1966 - 1967 , and pushed my bike up past Grange wood on my way home ! Lindsay
