So Far Away Yet So Near

Such a familiar sight - the High Street with what looks like a number 47 RT AEC bus approaching. I actually lived in Coney Hall, but Bromley was only a 5d ride away (or 6d to the North if going to the Odeon or Pullman ...Read more

A memory of Bromley by Peter Leach

Yha

My first holiday away from parents was Youth Hostelling in North Wales in 1972 with Ken White. We started off at Conway, and took in Penmaenmawr, Bangor, Bryn Hall, and others. My fondest memory was at Penm, and I returned whilst on honeymoon ...Read more

Charlie Bristow

It always seems a pity when someone's life ends and there is a decreasing memory of their place in the town as the years go by. Hence, if I may, I would like to share with current readers in the town the memory of one of its figures of ...Read more

I was born at 44 Main Street, better known as Music Row, in 1943 and moved to Kimberley in 1958. I have many fond memories of living there, huge bonfires on the "donkey piece", making "winter warmers" out of a tin with holes ...Read more

Faint Remembered Memories

I was born in 70 Thornlaw North in 1945, my parents were Herbert and Josephine Mary Cumming and my sister was Joan. I believe that the people next door were the Dunnets (Salvation Army). I used to play with Eileen Toy who ...Read more

Anvil St

I suppose it's my age, but I am getting a little nostalgic about my youth. I used to live in Anvil Street (no longer exists) and remember well my first day at school, St John's on Altom Street, now a mosque. I certainly have some well ...Read more

A memory of Blackburn by Philip Robinson

Osterley Park

In 1930 I was born at Northumberland Avenue, Isleworth: parallel to the Great West Road and behind St Francis Church. As Osterley Park was so near I used to play, with my chums, frequently in the grounds of the park. We had many happy ...Read more
