Deptford RECTORY BUILDINGS CROSSFIELD STREET DEPTFORD  

Has anyone got a photo of Rectory Buildings, they were demolished in the 1960's. My father was born there in 1914 and I was bought up in deptford just off Tanners Hill.

Also what was the name of the fish mongers in Deptford High Street, was it Purdy's, I remember the man who used to sell the fish in the 1950's and 1960's, I am told his appeared in a TV programme, does anyone know what programme it was.

Any replies to  Mail-me 

Thanks Trish

Lucas Vale Primary school.
My wife & her cousins all went to Lucas Vale primary school in the late 50's. They lived in Strickland St and Admiral St ( both off Albyn Rd).
My father was one of the Bowley's that worked at the bakery in Harton Street and in Albyn Road.
Iornic that we were loking at "Google Earth" last night to see how things have changed.
We were married at St John's church at the top of St Johns Vale.
We came to Australia in 1980 and live in Queensland.

Deptford BOWLEYS  

I remember Bowleys so well, they did lovely bread and cakes, we lived in Cranbrook Road and I used to go to Lucas Vale and on my way home used to watch the bakers bake bread in Oscar Street.

Do you remember Chitty's Fish and Chips on the corner of Harton and Cranbrook Road and Finch's on the corner of Vanguard and Harton.

I have done a number of Lucas Vale reunions where we looked around the school. Does anyone remember Mr Wynn, he was a lovely teacher

Deptford Family Houseshare  

Are you interested in communal family living?

We are looking for two other families with young children to get together and rent a house. We have one son who will be 3yrs old in May. We would like to experience living in a co-operative, communal environment, benefitting everyone involved:

-children can play together and learn from each other
-parents can share skills and childcare
-bigger living space and garden
-more economical consumption

The idea is to rent a 6 or 7 bedroom house so that everyone can have their own space while also having communal areas. Ideally, we would like to live in Brockley/New Cross but we are flexible.

This is clearly a long-term plan as we would have to get to know one another and discuss our expectations, so we are in no hurry to move and everything would be very informal to begin with. If you are interested please email  Mail-me

Deptford Bates House  

Sadly no, Brian. It's a long time ago but I can remember if you went into "the courtyard" from Crossfield street turned hard right, went up the stairs in the corner of the block they were on the 2nd. or 3rd. floor, number 32.
By the way when you lived there was the air raid shelter still in the yard, behind where the communial clothelines were. It's been nearly 50 years but I love to know how they all got on.

Hi, I was born in Mornington Road in 1956, and lived there for a number of years before moving to the Sayers Court Estate in Evelyn Street. I loved Deptford. Although I dont't live that far away now, I have to admit that it has been quite a few years since I ventured down there. Would love to share any memories. Elaine.

Deptford Oareborou Rd  

Can anyone help please. I was born and bought up in Deptford as was my mother and grandmother. I moved away in 1964. My grandmother lived in Oareborou Rd when she got married in 1896. It was bombed during WW2 and they put prefabs there. I wondered if anyone would know where in Deptford Oareborou Rd was. I have searched maps and can't find it. Please help
Thankyou

Deptford Oareborou Road  

I think I remember Oareboru Road as a kid (c late 1940s), don't ask me how I remember but I think my Cousins and I went to look and play on the bomb sites. Thinking back it was'nt far from New Cross railway station, Woodpecker Road rings a bell. Looking at the current A-Z it could be where Woodpecker Road meets Rolt Street. Maybe it was renamed as the current Trundles Road shown.

Post reply -->London Deptford brian 9 Dec

Deptford  

Hi - Oareboro Road is on a map published by Alan Godfrey Maps "Deptford (North) 1894" (map are only £2.25 each) and it is between Woodpecker Road and Rolt Street.

Deptford Oareborou Road  

Hi
I have an old London A-Z which shows Oareborou Road.
It no longer exists but ran from Trundles Road to Rolt Street SE14. The site is now a park called Folkstone Gardens which was always known as the "New Park" when we were kids, perhaps it still is. Folkstone gardens was built on the site of old tenament buildings which were destroyed by a V2 on the 7th March 1945 killing 53 people. this would have been the bomb sites that you remember.

Deptford FREDERICK STREET  

Hello

Does anyone know where Frederick Street was? Its described in 1898 as being in Greenwich in fact but within St Pauls parish. My family were living within St Nicholas parish from the 1700's but in 1850 my great great grandmother lately widowed moved into 1 Frederick St, I presume it was either demolished by the LCC in clearances or after bomb damage in WWII.

Deptford  

Hi, I have just purchased an old map of Deptford 1894 and Frederick Street was between Amersham Grove and Edward Street, running paralell with Amersham Vale. I know that the street name changed to Atkinson Street but do not know when. I was born at No. 4 Atkinson Street in 1948. My email address is  Mail-me
