I was born in 1961 at Sycamore Close off Park Avenue Bushey, my first school was Highwood junior my teacher was Mrs Brickhill, funny how you can remember someone's name over 50 years ago. My mates I used to play with where my neighbour Andy Mills, last known to be living in New Zealand, and Gordon Fallon. I bumped into him up in Norfolk not so long go. we would play in the golf course woods I think it was Bushey Hall Golf Club, I know it was opened by Queen Victoria and used to be a lot bigger than when I used to play in it. Opposite the Otter pub was the back entrance to what we called the American school, it was a school for the children of American Servicemen. I don't know where they would have been based but we would go there occasionally, that was a spooky place to play in. The other people I remember where Gary Flood, The Shinkwins and the Perkins brothers and Tony Robinson and a few more. Mentioned in one of the memories above is the Top Rank Nightclub. I used to go to it when it had changed to Bailey's Night Club. What a great place that was and saw some fantastic groups and people up their. My whole week was about Friday and Saturday nights up at Bailey's. I never was a dancer but loved and still love Disco. It was looking for memories of Bailey's that bought me to this site.

I was born in 1953 at home which was a prefab 23 Links Side Enfield. Situated at the bottom of Windmill Hill on the way to Oakwood with the Jolly Farmers Pub on the corner. Links Side was a very nice road mainly houses on one side and bungalows on the other. I seem to remember that the last part of the road was taken over by the Council and about 15 prefabs put up. I can remember the road was cinder, which is how I learnt to ride a bike quickly, I didn't want to fall off a second time. There was a brook at the bottom of the garden and a footpath that came to a small bridge we called the White Bridge, Fishing in Boxers Lake on a warm summer day, school at Merryhills. Life seemed so much less complicated then.

I was born in Fulham 1950 and grew up able to run & play till it got dark in Bishops Park and the surrounding area. I lived in Kenyon Street until I was 12 which was really fantastic. My family supported Fulham Football Club.
I learnt to dance at age 3 at a dance school run by Sylvia Dale. classes I believe were held in Cobb's Hall at the junction with Lillie Road. I then went onto the Canon Stage School near Fulham Broadway. I performed all around London and remember well performing at Bishops Park open air theater ( which has been pulled down now), also with Tommy Trinder the ex President of Fulham Football Club.I also learnt Ballroom & Latin at Albert Morgan Dance Studio in
Does anyone remember Santilly's ice cream van, just outside the gates in Stevenage Road near the Tennis courts. I remember the putting green in the park and the many happy hours running around, something young people do not have today. I went to Queens Manor primary School with Malcolm McDonald who went on to play football for England, Carol , David Dorman, twins Jill & Jane, and another set of twins whom I can't remember their names. I went to Fulham County Grammar School in Fulham Cross in 1961.My Grnadmother Roberts was buried in Fulham Cemetary right next door to the school.
WE moved to Putney in 1962, but always remember with the best memories ever my first years in fulham and return to have a look every now and then. I would love to look at my house where I lived and see how it has changed. The garden was really lovely and my Dad built us a shed for my brother & I to play in.
