Streatham Ice Rink

A Memory of Streatham.

With my future wife and two friends we often went skating at Streatham. We weren't very good skaters and had no skates of our own. In those days the skating boots that you hired at the Rink were not always in good condition and were "baggy" around the ankles, so that no matter how tightly you tied the laces, your ankles were not well supported.
By 9 pm there would be plenty of puddles in the corners of the rink, so much so that if you slipped over (which I often did) you ended up sitting in a puddle!
Good days, nonetheless.
