Post or Ask something here in 'Kennington' Kennington 326a Kennington RoadHi My grandparents lived at 326a kennington road from about 1948 to 1972 - Mr & Mrs Mulligan (Charlie & Pat). I remember going there often as a small child (they sold sugar mice in the sweet shop down the road and Liptons was the local supermarket. I wonder if anyone has any photos of this house. It was quite run down when they lived there as I understand it was built in the late 1700's? I bet it looks great now. Can anyone help??

I lived at No 10 Doris Street during the war and knew all of your Dads brothers and sisters,especially Bill Ford (who was my best friend for many years until we lost touch).I think I still have pictures of him and of Barbara and of Edna with my 2 sisters taken outside of the Prince Regent pub.I also have pictures of a "Beano" of a coach outside of the pub with a picture of Bill Fords Dad with my own Dad and many others in it. I am 76 years old now and have many happy memories of Doris St. I also have a not very good picture that was taken by the Daily Mirror during the air raids with all of us children including Bill & Barbara in it.Contact me and maybe I can scan a few photos & send them to you by e mail From Eddie.
