These are great!

Thanks. I'll tell my sister they are on here. She lives in half of one of these houses! These pics remind me of when we first moved into the road in 1970, hardly a car around!

Anyone remember the Unwins that used to be on the corner of KH Rd and Watlington? We knew Fred and his sister Daisy who used to run it for years. Wonder what happened to them?

Thanks again.

are there any in existence of any houses further up nearer to the Beckenham border on the left? I lived at 73.

You've put me on the spot there, Ian! :? I wasn't sure what to say, so I looked in the Bible, and in Matthew Chapter 5, Verse 38 it says "When someone asks you for something, give it to him".

If you have already nicked the images then you must cut off your arm and throw it away! It is much better for you to lose one of your limbs than for your whole body to go to hell.

thank you for the Beckenham link.

It was fascinating to watch the Crystal Palace footage. It was the age when children were children! All those people enjoying themselves on the spot that is now just a litter ridden area.

I can't quite work out where some of the Kent House Rd pics were taken but they are still very interesting. Thank you.
