Sidcup In The 1960s

A Memory of Sidcup.

I lived in Sidcup asa child up to the age of 11, moving away from the area in 1970. I went to Days Lane Primary School. I don’t remember there being a high street as such but a row of shops I do remember which included a Hairdresser, a newsagent and a small grocer’s as supermarkets used to be called then. I have fond memories of walking past the shops to school and across the way was a long woodland path that led to a park/play area that used to be somewhere we went during the holidays, a kind of play/care to go to during the days to be looked after when parents were at work. They were really happy days for the most part. It was a quiet and small community. It was Kent then too, not South East London as it is now
