Hi I have just been given a batch of school reports belonging to my mother Patricia Barbary. Two reports are from Hearnville Road school 1949 & 1952. The rest is when she attended The Rosa Bassett School, Streatham. 1952-1956. Her mother was Ethel, she also has a brother called Robert and I believe they all lived with Grandma Elizebeth(Liz) in Denby Rd (now a school Hornsby House school) If anyone has any memories of this family it would be great to hear from you. Many thanks Wayne

I was told that two brothers lived, one who owned a fish paste factory and the other who owned a honey factory. They joined forces and Honeylade Factory came into being. My aunt was a Supervisor and she got my mum a job there in 1932. My mother met my Dad through his sisters who also worked there. I cannot find any trace of this factory. Can anyone help?

Does anyone have any memories of Family Brown who lived in Elmfield Road until 1954? The parents were Percy & Winifred (nee Gover) who had 3 daughters: Winifred, Doris & Joyce and 1 son: Reginald.
