Wardley Street Wandsworth

Here is a very old photo taken in Wardley Street. I have no idea when exactly. It was in my Nan's possession when she died. She was born Rose Plant at 11 Wardley Street in 1896.

My mum got my ears pierced in garratt lane when I was 2 that makes it 54 years ago! of course I never forgot the pain was awful! Mum used to teach me a song from wardley street...'Mandy gel in the woods to lel a bit of crack,up come a gavver to lel poor Mandy acray.Witch Chavvy,Roman Chavvy .Job him in the mooey!(punch him in the face!)' There was a fishmongers too and everyday when we went to visit my Nan who was rehoused in aboyne estate my mum bought me a huge whelk instead of sweets and i put the shells along my windowsill when we got back home to Galesbury road up( Earlsfield road) awful council flat in those days!

Here is a photo of Wardley Street as it is now. Only a few of the original houses remain - on the left hand side. The Grosvenor Arms is still there though.

Hi Anne, my Nan didn't move to Aboyne. She married Walter Nunn from Battersea on the 22nd April 1916 at St. Mark's Church, Battersea Rise and they moved to 8 Dingwall Road, Wandsworth where most of their children, including my Mum, Mary, were born. The house was badly bombed in WW2 and then they moved round the corner to 46 Wilna Road. My Nan lived there all her life until she died in April 1979.

Here is another old photo of Wardley Street. I would guess that it was taken in the 1930's.
