More about this scene
A country lane, a straggle of houses and open countryside is all we see as we look down Collier Row Road with the Church of the Ascension on the right. However, look more closely at the centre of the picture and you will see in the distance the sign of the White Hart public house.

When the VI rocket raids started we spent most nights in our Anderson Shelter, as did most of our neighbours. My parents slept in the lower bunks in the shelter and I slept in the upper one.

I became a choirboy at the Ascension church when I was eight. I also joined the 2nd Collier Row cubs attached to the church in 1948. The vicar was Father Reynolds and the cub leader was Olive Smith. I attended Clockhouse Lane school from around 1944 until 1951. We were bombed out in 1945 when a doodle bug fell in Clockhouse lane and the blast blew out our windows in Highfield Road. We were in the Anderson shelter at the time.
My nan and Grandad (Henry Eastwood and Elsie Lodge) got married in this church in 1930. My Mum and Dad were married there in 1955.
