Longley Road
A Memory of Tooting.
Does anyone know anything about the Bowra family or Raven family? They lived in Longley Road in the late 1800s and 1900s until 1957. The family consisted of Henrietta Bowra, Leonard, Herbert, Sydney and Kate. Kate had a daughter called Marjorie. Does this mean anything to anyone? There were two or three houses built in Longley Road by the Ravens; one was called 'Blakemore' and the other 'Raven Cottage'. Also we think Leonard Bowra owned or ran a tobacconists shop, does anyone know about this or a paint factory at the back of Longley Road?I would be delighted to hear any snippets of information if you have them.

Most weekends my mates and myself use to drink in the Fountain pub in Garret lane and watch the bands that use to play there
Groups like CSA playing 50s rock and Roll.
Good old days.
