I think thers a Sainsbury there now. The church steeple is still there, at least I see it on google maps. If any of this is familiar please respond. I also have fond memories of Stratham Common and the Rookery. Mark.

I was brought up in the flats on the main road of Aldrington Road next to Wates furniture shop. I went to Eardley Road then in 1960 went to Dunraven. I remember very well the sweet shop on the corner; the smell was heavenly. I had a friend called Anne who's family lived in one of the first houses in Leverson Street. Then in 1963/4, Eardley Road had a youth club what me and me mates went to. I met a really nice guy there Manny or Les was his name, such good times.

I have fond memories of growing up in Leverson St, not far from Mitcham Lane where our local shops were. I went to Eardley Rd School & then on to Dunraven Secondary School. Spent a lot of my teenage yrs at the Locarno, Bowling Alley & Streatham Ice Rink. One of my favourite places has always been The Rookery on Streatham Common, I spent a lot of time there as a child. Another favourite place was Tooting ...see more
