Share your own memories of Strood Green and read what others have said

For many years now, we've been inviting visitors to our web site to add their own memories to share their experiences of life as it was when the photographs in our archive were taken. From brief one-liners explaining a little bit more about the image depicted, to great, in-depth accounts of a childhood when things were rather different than today (and everything inbetween!). We've had many contributors recognising themselves or loved ones in our photographs.

Why not add your memory today and become part of our Memories Community to help others in the future delve back into their past.

Childhood Memories

My family lived at 6 Tynedale Road and my two sisters and I were all born there. We attended Brockham School when Mr. Rogers was the Headmaster. Mr. & Mrs. Foster owned the Sweetshop & Newsagents and I did a paper round and helped out in the shop. I well remember Mr. & Mrs. Marlow who owned the Shop and Post Office as I used to exercise their dog Charlie. Dr. Newton was the family doctor.

The Old Days

Remember when Mr Booth had the local papershop, he was a cracking bloke. Then later on Les Copley took over. There was Dick and Win Smith who had the spotted cow, always remember a no cuddling policy in there. My dad, John Knightley, worked behind the bar and they had some famous people come in, it was a place to live.
