Penge  

Frankie Laine appeared at the Penge Empire around 1950, admission was free as it was for a filming session. Clearly this was before promotional material was produced for a forthcoming record so I am mystified as to the purpose of the filming. I was only a youngster at the time and I recall Frankie wearing an unfamiliar coloured suite and had to do some retakes of the song "Gandy Dancers Ball" (which I have never heard him sing on record!). Can anyone give me more information such as date and purpose of the filming session etc? Thank you Bob LUCAS  Mail-me

Penge St johns school maple road  

Does anyone have any memories of St Johns School, Maple rd that stood where the playground is on the right hand side of the more modern building that is there now. I attended this school it was a very old building built in around c1870. I have scoured the Internet for pictures but with no luck. Wondered if anyone has any pics to share? Email me  Mail-me

Penge  

I too have been looking for pictures of that same building. I rmemeber it vaguely. It was joined, i think across the two buildings by a covered bit, and out the back was a sort of temporary building which was the canteen. I remember a sort of modern annex attached to the right hand side and the drive out the front had two entrances, a sort of in and out drive. I went there between 1965 - 1968, but I have been looking for pictures but with no luck.  Mail-me

Penge Is there still a suburb called Penge.  

I'm doing family research at the moment and trying to find
the address where my Grandfather listed his next of kin when he went to war in 1914. The address was 15 Smith Street, Penge. Does this suburb still exist or has the area been renamed. I live in Australia and have googled the address but it doesn't show as Penge.
I would be grateful is someone can remember that far back
and let me know.

Thanks,
Lois.

Penge No Smith Street  

There is not, and never was, a Smith Street in Penge or nearby, nor anything named like it. If you give me his name and any other clues, I'll try to unravel the mystery.  Mail-me

Penge Caggy Harris  

Hi Ive lived in Penge all my life im only 22 but was doing a bit of research into its history. On Wikipedia, I cam across the name of Caggy Harris who was apparently a notorious criminal who comitted a number of crimes during the 70s. Just wondering if anyone had any info on this character as I find stuff like this fascinating -dont ask me why. Penge is a great place and it seems it has lost a lot of its brilliant history,

Penge Rock Hills is no more  

The girls' school was closed in 1985, along with Kentwood Boys' School, leaving Penge with no secondary schools. The Victorian Rock Hills building in Melvin Road was demolished. The newer building in William Booth Road is now James Dixon Primary School.

Penge WORDSWORTH ROAD PENGE [NOW IN BROMLEY]  

I have just found a postcard that was sent by my Granny to her Granny "Mrs. Graves" to no.63 Wordsworth Road Penge. It was posted in July 1923. I don't know the Christian name as it is only addressed to Mrs. Graves. Does anybody know if I can access an electoral roll for that area at that time.

Penge Susan Emma  

are the names in the autumn 1923 roll, but in others it is just Emma. To confuse, later directories and rolls have a Miss Emma Graves -- her daughter? Other family members and/or lodgers also appear, but as they could still be alive I won't name them in public.  Mail-me  for details.
