Travelling People / Re: Mitcham Redskin village/ Phipps Bridge
« on: Sunday 26 July 20 19:40 BST (UK) »Hi
I lived at no. 86 New Close from 1956 - 1967 our house was in the circle oposite the pylon,next door to the Brookers.
I remember your Nan & Grandad's house , It was the one on the corner and It always seem to have runner beans growing up strings.
I moved to New Close from Colliers Wood when I was nine but I still went to the same school ( Fortescue)and I went past your Nan & Grandad's house every day on the way to and from school. I cut through the alley to Phipps Bridge road.
I remember Lofty more than anyone else, he sometimes came over to talk to my dad but thats about it.
People from New Close were looked down upon- but I have never known such a good community
Do you know anymore on the Brookers?!
