Penge Police Station

Hello, Julie.
The Rogers Shop was a little further down the High Street Than the Essoldo Cinema. The shop that was almost opposite The Essoldo was Woolworths, next up from Rogers. Then after Woolworths there was Maloney's Cakes Shop and Cafeteria.

Yes, you are right Anthony. Rogers was not far up from the Police Station. I remember Woolworths too, where all the items were laid out on the counters in front of the sales ladies. I don't remember Maloney's though, but there would be no need for us to go into a cafeteria as I lived walking distance from the centre of town. I lived in Woodbine Grove after the war, but I was born in the top flat above the shoe shop which was on the corner of Maple Road and the High Street, and that's where I spent the war years. Julie
