Peckham War Years
A Memory of Peckham.
My name is Keith Rattray. I lived at 44 Radnor Road, Peckham from 1943 until 1956. My sisters are Joyce, Denise and Janet, all older than me. Joyce passed away in early 1960s but Denise lives in Princes Risborough and Janet lives in Arizona. My Peckham memories are brilliant - the house we were in was basic although I didn't know that at the time, it was just home. We had an outside toilet, no bathroom, cold running water, coal fire, 3 bedrooms, kitchen, dining room and front room (which we hardly ever went in, it was kept for best). The house on the end of our row was bombed out which made it a fantastic place to play. The houses opposite were all bombed out so this was another play area. I do remember the flats being built probably early 50s. There was never a shortage of friends to play with, we had such great times playing in the street. Anyone remember the 1953 Coronation street party. I have numerous great stories if anybody wants to hear them.
Yes please, we would love to hear more - Ed.
