Long way from home, but just found on my front verandah a present, a calendar which features Streatham going back to my childhood times.. 1950s... oh boy, someone is going to make me homesick, I can remember Streatham Hill Theatre, but seeing this photograph... mmmm, where is the hankie! The Fifty Shilling Tailors, that was near the Police Station from memory, other end of Streatham High Road... opposite Tyrrells... and St. Leonards Church further on.. Surprising how time passes, we remember places of our childhood, but seeing the traffic, cars, havent they changed in 60 odd years! And looks like tram lines in High st.... any one actually on this list who is in Streatham today please? This gift is from my sister, as other old haunts are featured around Sussex! its done by Frith.. wonderful memories.. often when one is after a photograph of a place, you can find it with Frith.. I was living in Streatham 1943-69, and been back a few times since then.. Just been chatting to a friend here in Carterton, she is from Wimbledon.. small world.. Happy New Year 2010 and hope many of you will find that piece of jigsaw puzzle you so much need for your family history... As someone says, the south Londoner in NZ Adele Clareville NZ
