My Mum worked at Sainsbury's in East Street in the late 50's - to early 60's. She used to 'knock up' the butter from the huge slabs into the small half pound packs, all while the customer waited. She also used to bring home the first yogurts, usually they were frozen and my sis and I loved them. My Mum loved the job but she used to get chilblains in the winter as it was always a bit wet on the floor behind the counter

Hi My name is Karen, I was born in 1962 in guys hospital and lived in a top floor flat in Gloucester Grove with my mum and Dad Doreen and Terry Stevens. Not sure what number because sadly my mum passed away. I do remember a grand piano being on the landing and it belonging to Miss Gutteridge who owned the large Victorian house. I remember a young boy called Ian who lived next door and a couple called Maud and Arthur. I do remember going to a school nearby and we used to sleep in the afternoon on camp beds and my bed had a picture of a sun and my brothers had a lion. I do know we moved out when they were going to pull down the houses and we were moved to Lewisham. Can someone tell me the name of the school and also if they have recollections of sleeping in the afternoon 😊 and maybe a picture of Gloucester grove and the school would be good
