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

Going To Work

When I was working for Nat West Bank in the 70s I used to travel on the train from Kenley Station every day to go up to Caterham and back. The up line terminates there while the downline goes via Purley to East Croydon and London, and I ...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

I am trying to create the memories that I don't have of my mother Ethel Lewis who was born in 1924 and lived at 58 Mount Pleasant, Merthyr Vale.  I know she attended the primary school which is a couple of minutes' walk away. If anyone ...Read more

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
