Childhood Days

A Memory of Morden.

I lived in morden from 1948-1965 and I have wonderful memories of Morden Park and the bandstand that always had a band paying on Sundays and teas in the big house, not sure what it was called or what it was used for. My mother always insisted I wore white gloves and my best dress and as it was Sunday I was never allowed out to play so going to the bandstand was such a treat. (How times have changed.) Also I remember a paddling pool around the side of the house, I wonder if that is still there or if anyone remembers it? There was a stream that ran through the bottom of the park and I remember we used to jump across it and hope that we would not fall in or we would be in trouble when we got home. I haven't been back to the park for many years maybe one day I will but I expect it has changed a lot.
