Deptford Deptford adolphus st jasper replyNo I didn't continue with the bingo , guess winning three times in a night at such a young age and also having the accolade of getting all kids barred from playing at the Legion meant I stopped at the top ! When I was about 7 Jasper asked me " do you collect stamps " I of course thinking I might get something for nothing said yes , even though I probably didnt have a clue what he was talking about , anyway he gave me a little book of old stamps , I'd love to say I've still got them and they're worth a fortune , alas I haven't , but the memories certainly are worth a fortune .....

Deptford I remember a lot of people from Deptford ParkI remember, from Colwick Street, Lily [Hatt] daughters Jean and Doris [named for my own Mum]; the Donovan family; Reeves Dairy [my Uncle Wally was a milkman with them before WW2, when he entered the R.Navy and was lost at sea]. Anyone remember the Kingston family and the Freeman family from Hoopwich Terrace, who were bombed out of Windmill Lane? Both families were related. I myself attended Deptford Park School, back in the 1940s together with my sister Gillian [Boxall]. We have so many happy memories of those days - never forgotten. We lived in Scawen Road, by the park. Our house is still there. Post reply -->London Deptford Sheila [nee Boxall] 3 Jun Should we remove this post ? |

Post reply -->London Deptford 27 Apr Should we remove this post ? Deptford Deptford Church StreetHi.Happened on the site about deptford and found it very interesting.By the way never written anything before so bare with me .My name is Eddy and I am 78 so do struggle with the computer.In 1947 we moved from Blackheath Rd to No 6 Church st.It was a little shop which at sometime earlier must have sold birds because the cellar had lots of rusty bird cages in.It was in a bad state with an outside toilet and a small back yard.Next door to us on one side was the Druids Head Pub.The other side which must have been No 4 was a barbers shop.Owned by a chap called Sid.He also had an assistant and it was quite a busy little shop especially on a friday and saturday when most people had there haircut.Normally short back and sides which cost one and six.No extra charge for a slick of brylcreem.Oppposite on the other side of the road was Donavan Brothers a small factory that made paper bags and carrier bags.They had a couple of vans which they delivered the bags across London.Quite a few people wor Post reply -->London Deptford Eddie 6 Apr Should we remove this post ? ^ Deptford Deptford Church StreetI remember The Druids Head pub well, during the forties and early fifties as a kid I spent many a Saturday evening outside with a lemonade and a packet of crisps. Some of the homeless Gentlemen from Carrington House would go in the pub and rumour has it that one of these Gentlemen would bite the head off a rat to earn beer money, whether that's true or not I don't know. Post reply -->London Deptford 6 Apr Should we remove this post ? ^ Deptford Mail-me . Eddie, got a feeling you and I know each other, same age age and both out of Deptford, I live in Madrid now, but years ago I raked the the streets of Deptford, tenpence old money to get in the Bughutch to see flash gordon, same money for a night in the Kip House. had my drape suit made at Sydney Charles and used to drink in the Robin and the "Blue Lights" with a couple of old mates, I visited Deptford last year, couldnt find my way out of the station, looking for flash Harry, couldnt find him either. good old days, I knew Dandridges, if you are the Eddie I think you are you paid it a visit once in the "Early Hours" with Peter Mahoney, George Staples and a few others, remember Cohens scrap metal yard, 16 shillings a day.
