My Memory Of Croydon
A Memory of Croydon.
I remember having a donkey ride at the back of Kennards, by the arcade, which was a real treat for me. Also having my ears pierced in the arcade and you could smell the incense from the indian shop. Going to Surrey Street market on a Saturday with my mum to get shopping of fruit & veg. A stallholder used to shout out, "Rhubarb, Rhubarb` I mean bloodshot celery". Another crying out "Don`t forget your Bananas". There was Charlie who had a stall opposite the flower stall and cockle & winkle stall by the steps, I loved a plate of cockles. Charlie sold lots of goodies, toys and gifts at real bargain prices, even then especially at Christmas where he always pulled a crowd. And I never missed a visit to the pet shop that had a very old parrot. The butcher shop with the front completely open and sawdust on the floor. Happy days! Does anyone remember the supermarket up there called Prideaux`s?
