Shared Memories of Carshalton
 Carshalton, Stanley Park and Schools (ref: C38058) |
Year: 1966
My School
This brings back so many memories. I went to Stanley Park School, do you remember the country dance parties we use to have, and going to the loos with the daddy long legs on the wallsm and playing British Bulldog, and the school dinners? I spent so many hours playing in the park on the swings and roundabout. My grandad was the park caretaker for a while, Jim Simmons. Best years. Last edited: 15/12/2008 09:14 by Linda Jansen |

 Carshalton, St Helier Hospital c1965 (ref: C38046) |
Year: 1964
A Big Lump In My Throat
Oh!!! It is absolutely wonderful to find this site. I trained as an RN at St. Helier's Hospital in from 1964-1968. I have lived in the USA since 1974. I have always wanted to find someone who knew about St. Helier's. I talked with someone about it today and she suggestesd I try the internet, and there it is. I am so excited I can hardly concentrate. I want to know if anyone out there knows of a reunion or get-together for past students. I will be the first to book my flight. Oh!! I am now an accomplished tennis player thanks to a French student nurse who introduced me to the game at St. Heliers. I don't really know how this site works because my computer skills are really back in the last century. But I hope someone can reply to this and keep me updated. I love my life and all that goes with it and St. Helier was a GREAT part. My maiden name was Raymond. Thank you. Joycelyn Edmund. Last edited: 05/12/2008 10:14 by Joycelyn Edmund |

Year: 1930s
The Grove Bakery
Family history tells me that my grandfather, G J Morris, was the proprietor of this bakery before he died in 1940. My uncle, H J Morris, ran the tobacconist, newsagent, sweet shop on the corner in Wallington. I was born in Foxley Lane before a Buzz bomb fell on our garden on 29th June 1944. If anyone has any old photos or information on these memories I would love to hear from them. Last edited: 31/10/2008 09:35 by Elizabeth Smith |
