High Street Aka Coombe Lane
A Memory of Raynes Park.
This is Coombe Lane looking towards Raynes Park station, just visible on the righthand edge of the photo. We lived over the butcher's shop in the mid 1950's so its probable we were in residence when it was taken. The butcher outside could be a Mr Sparks as I recall. My Dad managed a butcher's shop in Earlsfield at that time. The Lucas's lived over the Bank (Mr Lucas was a bank employee (manager?) elsewhere) and Jack Warnell lived with his mother over the the green grocer. Mr Crouch ran (owned?) Reynolds estate agents in the centre of the picture and just beyond the very impressive bank building (Barclays?) was the Raynes Park Tavern. Trolly buses plied between Wimbledon and Kingston along the road (routes 604 and 605).
