Memories Of Bedfont
These memories relate to about 1963-1966/7. My dad was a car salesman for more years than I care to remember, and worked at the car sales place in Bedfont. We knew a lot of people in the area (none, alas, on this site so far), but ...Read more

When Tarpots Had Real Shops
I remember when I first moved to Tarpots that we had proper shops. We had a butchers, greengrocer, baker, newsagent, and post office. You could get all you wanted without having to catch a bus to another town. Now ...Read more

Lee Pool
Although I used to take my two children to the pool from Stubbington when we lived there in the 1960s my memory is of the 1940s when it was an adult pool with a high diving board. A swimming gala was put on by the Navy and we sat on ...Read more

My Mother

A Seaside Holiday At Allhallows
My earliest memories of the seaside are from the 1950's. We lived in Bexleyheath and - like most people - did not own a car in those far off austerity years after the war. For this reason our summer holidays were ...Read more

H.L Daniel's Motorcycle Shop & Buckley's Bike Shop
I lived in Forest Hill in the 1960's on a road off Dartmouth Road. Two shops on the road stand out in my memory. Probably in 1965 both were still trading. H.L. Daniel was a Norton works motorbike ...Read more
