Great times playing Rounders, Hoola hoop, Outs, Hide and seek etc. in the street where there was only one old car that used to park there. Sign of how much has changed eh! Oh and secret trips to the banned old bomb sites too. (Shush don't tell mum!)

Hi I lived at no 21 Dans on road so remember all those shops lovely times I was there in the 60s

I also grew up in Danson Rd. I also remember those lovely little shops. One memory I have of that shop was when I was five years old I went walkabout with my pram, much to the horror of my father, who was busy buying a few things, didn't see me leave the shop. I had a bag of suger in my pram and ended up being picked up by a policeman and taken to Carter street police station. I also remember the old swimming baths. Oh what great days they were.

Hi Terry Did you have any luck with pictures of Trafalgar Street. All my mum's family was born there from the early 1900's so I would be very interested in obtaining copies of anything available out there. Would love to hear back from you.

Did you have any luck with postcards of Walworth Road showing tailors shops. I believe that my grandfather was a tailor in Walworth Road. His name was Thomas Wallace. Would be very grateful if you have any info you can share about him or his tailors shop if you have any.

thanks

My grandmother was born at 3 Hopwood Street Walworth in 1886. Hopwood Street (not to be confused with Hopwood Road) no longer exists.

My mother Mabel and her sister Margaret and baby sister Mary were also evacuated to Stoke-under-Ham with their mother Georgina (known as Dolly). I think they may have only gone for a few months and then returned to Marsland Road just, in fact, as the blitz started - they were bombing Surrey Docks on the night they returned. Just wondered if you might has known them possibly? My contact is
