Katie Barnes And The Hermits Cave

I lived in camberwell from 1946 untill early seventies and remember Kate very well she had her newspaper stand outside The Hermits Cave pub at the bottom of Grove Lane she was a very fiery lady and her langue could be quite colourfull if you upset her she used to like her pint and at lunchtime she was often seen enjoyinhg a cheese roll and her pint my farther used to wind her up something awful but they were quite friendly and you could have a laugh with her when you got to know her
