Thornton Heath Mid 60s 1972
A Memory of Thornton Heath.
My family lived in Osborne Road so my brothers and I went to Beulah Infant and Junior Schools. I think Mrs Colby was head of Infznts and Mrs Grumberg head of Juniors. Mrs Bird was my favourite teacher. I loved having stories outside in the garden in the summer. There was a swing and a large fallen tree that we could play on. My friends were Jenny Gray and Catherine Holloway. Jenny lived in Livingstone Road (I think) and Catherine in Osborne Gardens. I also remember Carolyn Moffat; Carol Milne, Beverly ?, Jeffrey? Sharon Jewson, Jane Worral, another Carol, Peter Morgan ( who’s dad taught my mum to drive)
I remember the rag and bone man coming round with his horse and cart. The Mooney family from over the road. And the excitement of being sent across the road to buy milk from the dairy. Anybody recall any of this?
