Kidbrooke Queens car.A couple of other correspondents seem satisfied that the Queen was in a closed top car and I certainly remember an open topped car and two disappointed women behind me. Could there have been someone else in the same procession, say Princess Margaret in an open topped car? A simple mis-indentification as the two women looked very much alike? The adults behind me certainly seemed to think that we were all looking at the new Queen Post reply -->London Kidbrooke Terakunene 3 Apr Should we remove this post ? Kidbrooke UpdateAs far as the Queens car is concerned, when it drove past me at Shooters Hill, it was certainly an open topped car as a couple of women behind me remarked "she wasn't even bothering to look round or smiling". Chris, what happened about the wrestling classes? Post reply -->London Kidbrooke Terakunene 3 Apr Should we remove this post ? Kidbrooke KIDBROOKE 41 YRSFascinating posts. I lived in Dursley Road from 1948 to 1989. I worked 1964 at Military Branch Books to the left of Kidbrooke Station for 4 years then at the Admiralty in London. The RAF Kidbrooke site right of Kidrooke Tunnel was No1 Barrage Balloon Site during WW2. Later I believe a Maintenance Unit. Now Thomas Tallis school. The MOD Air Publications and Forms Store was to the left of tunnel. Later a Royal Mail Depot. APFS also on other (south) side of road. APFS/Royal Mail sites now Ferrier Estate. APFS had steam later diesel locos I believe on standard gauge and the sites were joined by a bridge under the main road. RAF Loco 111 Aldwyth now at Leeds Industrial Museum or Yaxham(?) I went to Kidbrooke Primary then Charlton Manor. I too awaited the Queen and did not see her. Open or closed top car? Can't remember and it really doesn't matter does it?

 | ^ KidbrookeKidbrooke Route 132Route 132 was extended to North Greenwich Station (02 Arena) via Kidbrooke Rochester Way and Greenwich Peninsula (Sainsburys and Filmworks Cinema) on the 24/01/09. Last Bus from Bexleyheath is around 00.20 hours and the last bus from North Greenwich Station (02 Arena) back towards Bexleyheath is just after 01.00 hours. So will benefit many people and will ensure people can get home quickly and safely after a night out. Post reply -->London Kidbrooke Julian Russell 25 Jan Should we remove this post ? Kidbrooke Westhorne manor schoolDoes anybody know what happened to Frances Pursloe, last heard of in Croydon, who was top girl in 1960 after the school had previously been an all boys chool Post reply -->London Kidbrooke terakunene@yahoo.co.uk 1 Nov Should we remove this post ? ^ Kidbrooke Westhorne Manor SchoolWesthorne Manor, an Eltham based secondary school never was an all-boys school - it was co-ecducational. I attended this particular school from 1955 till 1960. During this period I was a prefect; played goalkeeper and full-back for the football team. I frequently see one of the girls who was in the year below mine as she is a nurse at the NBS where I donate blood. In my class was a pretty girl named Kay Thatcher. There was two sisters in the school with the surname of Page - the first name of one of them was Gwen. Audrey Smith, another pretty girl, was in the year or two lower than me. I don't think the girls would like you calling them boys; or can't you tell the difference?

RAF Kidbrooke which I was led to believe was a supply depot stood on the site of what is now the Thomas Tallis school - the depot did NOT stand on any housing estates as they were located opposite.

Post reply -->London Kidbrooke Anon 19 Aug Should we remove this post ? ^ Kidbrooke RAF KIdbrookeRAF Kidbrooke. I lived in Kidbrooke prefabs from 1945 until 1961 being among those first moved on after the 1958 Great Storm and flood. I don’t know when the Kidbrooke airbase was first run down but it must have been very shortly after WW2 and it was rapid. When the base closed there was considerable equipment abandoned and hordes of local males descended on the site to “liberate” what ever was left. My late Father’s share was a large wooden bench which served us well until the bitter winter of 1963. To the best of my recollection the airbase was where the supermarket now stands.

The route is due to be extended from January 2009. But we are asking TFL and East Thames Buses who operate route 132 to consider extending the route from 31st December 2008 (New Years Eve) to coincide with New Year Celebrations at the 02 Arena and to take passengers to and from North Greenwich Station (Jubilee Line) for people travelling to and from new year celebrations in Central London. This is great news for the people of Kidbrooke who are normally negelected when it comes to public transport and indeed bus services. Post reply -->London Kidbrooke Julian Russell 18 Oct Should we remove this post ? ^ Kidbrooke RAF KidbrookeI was in the RAF and stationed at RAF Kidbrooke from June 1961 until June 1965. I was on No 4 MT Squadron which was motor transport There was a detachment at Woolwich Arsenal which was a storage depot for `boat boxes` belonging to Service families going to overseas postings. These were transported to the London Docks e.g. Royal Albert and Victoria - West Indies dock - King George V dock - Wapping Basin - St. Georges Wharf etc: I spent most of my time at Woolwich Arsenal but lived local in Deptford so was not billeted on camp. Post reply -->London Kidbrooke colin gray 25 Jun Should we remove this post ? ^ Kidbrooke RAF KidbrookeTerrakunnene you have a faulty memory. RAF Kidbrooke stood on the site of the now Thomas Tallis School. I used to go past the depot en route to/from school and later to/from work in the late 1950s/early 1960s The site of the now supermarket stood on the site a Royal Mail depot which bracketed BR Kidbrooke and the Kidbrooke Park Road. On the south side of BR Kidbrooke, the Royal Mail depot backed on the River Quaggy which was the northern perimeter of Sutcliffe Park. On the west side of the Kidbrooke Park Road, a coal yard was sandwiched between the railway track and the Royal Mail Depot. Terra, if you are going to quote facts please get it right.

I hope route 132 will be more frequent when the route is extended to North Greenwich Station. Post reply -->London Kidbrooke Kim 25 Oct Should we remove this post ? ^ Kidbrooke Route 132Yes it is good news for Kidbrooke that route 132 is being extended to North Greenwich Station (02 Arena) via Greenwich Peninsula. I to hope the route is extended to North Greenwich Station (02 Arena) as soon as possible. I also agree New Years Eve 2008 would be a good day for TFL/East Thames Buses to introduce the extension of route 132 to North Greenwich Station (02 Arena).

Where the school stands now was the Station Headquarters and married quarters. to the left of the main entrance as you go in is the football field where there used to be the Guardroom, fire station, cookhouse and of course our billets. where the tennis courts are now was the vehicle hangar and behind that was the workshops.Accross the the road opposite where the supermarket now stands was the officers mess and towards the railway staion was there garages which I helped to erect. the camp boundary stretched along the pavement almost to the junction where the Dover Patrol pub stood. email:- Mail-me Post reply -->London Kidbrooke 14 Feb Should we remove this post ? |
