Post or Ask something here in 'Penge' 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. Post reply -->London Penge Lesley 23 Aug ^ Penge Susan Emmaare 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. Post reply -->London Penge Chris Doran 1 Sep PengeDoes any one remember the entrance to Iceland / peacocks being a road I remember a tyre company down there may be 1974? Post reply -->London Penge Graeme 23 Jul ^ Penge Clarina Roadwas its name (still the official address of the Blenheim Centre). The 1972 directory shows Empire Motors at 8a. It originally had 14 houses.

Post reply -->London Penge Brian B 15 May Penge PARISH LANE - fond memoriesHi folks ! I stumbled accross this web-page purely by accident - I am an old resident of Parish Lane, having lived there (No.144) from 1956 to 1964. I remember a little shop near the corner, which sold newspapers, tobacco etc... think it was called Jackson's, and it was on the Tennyson Road end. Also, near the turn-off for Bycroft Road, there was a tiny shop run by a little old lady (Peg?) - sold all sorts of bric-a-brac and clothes. Sad to learn that Penge Market is basically dead and gone. I remember loads of great old neighbours in Parish Lane itself - Carters at Number 143, Browns at 146 ... Ahh Happy Days ! Wonder if any of the old neighbours are still in Penge..? Perhaps some might read this = feel free to contact me via this page. I myself moved away from England with my parents in 1964. Anyway ... ... this a great site - keep it going !!!

 | ^ Pengehello there i lived in penge for many years i had two friends in parish lane pamela epps and brenda carter that was in 1950 till 1958 when we left school do you know of them barbara Post reply -->London Penge 30 Apr ^ Penge The CartersHi Barbara. Brenda was lovely. She was the daughter of Arthur and Ciss - THE BEST neighbours you could possibly have. Great and kind people. I think there was also Dolciie, Gail and Tony. Wonder where they are now . . . ??? Don't know EPPS (?). Wonder do you know Reggie and Lawrence Ball, also from Parish Lane - Reggie would have been well known around there, in the early 60's. I moved to Sunny West Cork (Ireland ) in 1964, at 12 years of age, so I lost touch after that. Hoping to get over this summer or next (2011) for a few days around Penge / Crystal Palace. Was there for a brief (20 minutes) stopover last year - - so much has changed !!!! To be expected I suppose. Stay safe and thanks for replying to my posting !!!

This site has provided community services for decades - including most recently a youth club and a meeting place for ethnic minority groups - until these were forced out when the Council wouldn't stump up for refurbishment work. At the time the people of Penge were promised alternative community facilities in a proposed new library on the high street. These plans have now been abandoned and no adequate plans are in place to provide qood quality community facilitities in this part of the borough. If you would be interested in supporting a campaign to voice your support for decent community facilities in Penge, please email me on Mail-me with the subject line "Count me in". We'll be in touch when we know more.

Post reply -->London Penge Mel 25 Aug Penge arpley road pengeI am wondering if anyone remembers anything about Arpley Road Penge. I am trying to trace my grandfathers history he lived at 66 Arpley Road from around 1915 to 1949 when he died. His name was Henry(Harry) William Bailey, his wife was Beatrice Bailey. They lived there with their 9 children my mother being one of them, mother went back to live at that house about the time her father died and stayed there until 1960, raising us children. I remember the house being converted from gas lighting to electric I would have been around 4-5 I guess, the house had no bather and an outside toilet. How did our grandparents manage. AMothers married name was Newman. Anyway if anyone has any older relatives or in fact they themselves remember anything I would love to hear from you Thanks regards Val Mail-me Post reply -->London Penge 23 Aug Penge arpley road pengeI am wondering if anyone has relatives that might have lived in Arpley Road Penge from around 195 through to 1960. I am trying to trace my grandfathers history - his name was Henry William Bailey and he lived at 66 Arpley Road Penge with his wife Beatrice and 9 children, my mother maongst them. My mother moved back to that little house and brought us up there until 1960 when we moved to Laurel Grove. Mothers married name was Newman. I recall as a child the house being converted from gas lighting to electric, I guess I would have been around 4 or 5 years old, we had no bathroom in the house and an outside toilet. You have to wonder how our grandparents lived. Anyway if anyone can help would love to hear from you.

Mail me Post reply -->London Penge Tracy 20 Feb ^ Penge Parish Lane, Penge.Hi, My great grandparents Stephen and Emma Searle lived at 52 Parish Lane, Penge from 1893 to sometime after 1901. I have viewed the property on google maps for family history reasons. I've no idea if the property is the same now as it was then, but it looks like it could be the same. Hope that helps with giving you an idea as to how old the properties are. If you happen to be out with a camera one day... could you photograph 52 Parish Lane and email me a photo? The one on google maps, shows an overflowing rubbish bin outside which doesn't look very nice. Cheers, Sherry Post reply -->London Penge admin@belly-bars.com 18 Apr ^ Penge Penge parish laneHi sherry yes I will sure take a pic of 52 for you. It is now converted into 3 seperate flats & to be honest it's such a shame & also the rubbish you mentioned is nearly always outside it drives us crazy spk soon Mail-me Post reply -->London Penge Tracy 25 Apr Penge RockhillsHi does anyone remember rockhills school or are ex pupils?
