Dancing, Ice Skating, Having Fun!!!
A Memory of Streatham.
Streatham was THE place to be. I lived at Crown Point for many years in my teens, and went ice skating three times a week, I remember the hourly speed sessions there, I got very good and fast. I used to go there with my regular girlfriend Sheila Barnett, Pat Waldock and my pals Dougie Hayes and Steve Snell. Where are they now?
The Locarno had all the top groups too. Went twice a week there, many live bands. Saw P J Proby, The Byrds, Dave Dee and the Bostons, Applejacks, Honeycombs, Migil 5, The Yardbirds, The Shadows. It had a revolving stage, I remember. I was drinking in a pub on Streatham High Road when news of President Kennedy's assassination came through. I remember being terrified of an imminent nuclear attack so we all got very drunk!
The Rumbling Tum coffee bar near the station was the 'in place' to be seen in our Beatle jackets. Girlfriends then included Penny Kearney, Leslie van Doorne,Paula Sharpe, all distant but fond memories of the Streatham Salad Days.
