The Wartime Days

A Memory of Sidcup.

Although living in Chislehurst, I visited Sidcup often on the single deck 228 bus. The pupose of the visit was to dine in the "British Resturant" in (I think), Hatherly Road. The choice of meals was very limited but they were filling and cheap. My mother worked in the Royal Artillery Record Office in Foots Cray, opposite the bus garage. Next door was Kolster Brands who made radios. The cafe over the garage at Ruxley corner was very popular as it was very "spit and sawdust", but very lively.
They were happy days and I recall with great affection being in the Sidcup & District Motorcycle Club who met in the Station Hotel. An era long gone...but remembered with love.
