@@anthony6262 I bought London Calling there (it had to be ordered in with a 75p deposit cos it was a double album) spent many games lessons in the snooker hall as well. Morden played a big role in my early years, ditto Rosehill and Mitcham, first visit to the pictures (Jungle Book), 93 to Putney Bridge on a Saturday, en route to Stamford Bridge. My mum lived there for many years before she passed, and I got on the Northern Line there for work, nights out up town, family visits strung out between Balham and Brixton via Stockwell, but best of all for me was living within 300 yards of what was then Chelsea’s training ground. It was odd living in Carshalton but being nowhere near Carshalton if you know what I mean. I could look left at my front door and see the Morden Side of Bishopsford Rd, walk to the end of the road, look down the hill and be able to see Mitcham. I never really ventured much further than Wallington and Sutton heading into Surrey, but as soon as me and my mates were old enough to get out and about the Northern Line was always our first port of call. Sorry for rambling on a bit, all the best.
My uncle & aunt lived in Evesham Road in the late 70s/ early 80s. Im sure I remember there was a socal club on St Helier with bands/ entertainment etc??
Nice to see Disc Records. Spent lots of time (and money) there during the 70’s!

Will you be doing the Carshalton side as well?
@@Oldgit60 I thought of doing all the roads that Bill Rudd took photos of! Might take a while though.
@ I grew up on one of the P roads so I wouldn’t have to wait long.
