Wallington Green.
A Memory of Wallington.
I lived in nearby Harcourt Road. My late grandfather used to mow the grass and prepare it for the annual remembrance parade and open air service.
During the hot summers the green would be packed by drinkers from the "Dukes Head" which is in the photo on the right.
The green was the centrepiece for a parade of shops, both on Croydon Road and Manor Road. It brought together a small but friendly community, many of whom had served in the armed forces during World War 2.
Most of us either went to the 2 local Grammar schools or Elmwood, about 1.5 miles away in nearby Hackbidge.
