I remember as a kid the ice cream van that came round did "cider lollys" they were great. Dont expect they could sell those now, and they werent made of "Irish" cider !
When i was an apprentice if the engineers worked and missed their lunch break we got sent up to an open fronted shop in Surrey Docks and had to buy X amount of savolys and pease pudding. Was in grease proof sheets and red hot. naffing loverly though.
When we did a "ghoster" and worked through the night they used to make sure a lady from the canteen came in with bacons rolls. It was probably the fact that you were double nackered but those bacon roles seemed to be the best in the known World.
If you were skint you could go to the canteen they would do you the biggest door step chip butty you have ever seen. strange how they dont seem to taste the same when you do em yourself?

Now thats dedication to a topic, nice one sco
Bexleyheath/barnehurst area if I'm not mistaken???0 -
sidcup innit? Hollies Clocktower in the back ground?0
-
What clocktower, I cant see it, just a big cider lolly0
-
It is hard to see past it! it looks rank. I vote for Popeyes. 99 with an ice lolly stuck in the top, cost a pound from the ice cream van at the bottom of Sidcup market. oh those were the days.
I would hazard a guess at the above pic and say it is Marlborough Park Avenue.0 -
Marlborough Park Avenue, Sidcup?0
-
reckon so. i used to live there.0
-
I reckon Suzi has called the road right. Or just off it.
Popeyes, and screwballs - plastic tube of ice cream with a bubble gum at the bottom. Watched a Welling game a couple of years ago where the oppo had a fat Italian looking guy in goal, and my mate spent the whole game shouting 'oyster' at him.
Wonder if kids today get treated to Angel Delight for desert ??0 -

There is no pub in the pic so it can't be him.0 -

Or buy the books. Done by decades so you get the one for your youth and wallow in all the old mags, toys, sweets, crisps, fags, etc, etc
Great for the old people to sit around the fire and say "I remember them"

remember getting toffe apples from a seller down on the beach but it might've been a hut , i mean no wonder i've got dodgey railings the crap i used to eat!!0 -
looks like the picture is taken from montrose avenue.0
-
The picture is indeed from the junction of Montrose Avenue. I was walking through the parks that run along the River Shuttle when an ice cream van pulled up in Marlborough Park Avenue and saved me a thirsty walk up to The Oval. Bought two cider lollies and a bottle of water for £1.20 - was expecting something like that as change from a fiver...bargain!0

The Hollies we used to go to footie training there on a Wednesday night. It was still a kids home then. The natives used to ambush some players on the way in or way out. One night we let a couple of players go early when they got fronted we steamed out of the hall and took our revenge !! The club got banned from The Hollies. Seems it was ok for the kids to jump us but not us them !0

I got the sh*t kicked out of me on the way to school by the scumbags one day.
One little f*cker fronted me so I battered him... for about ten seconds when about 10 of his mates joined the fray!0 -
I trained at Lamorbey baths on a monday night and used to be frightened going past there. Was there a swimming pool inside there too - rings a bell that we might have had to train there if it was closed.0
-
[cite]Posted By: Gump[/cite]There's a gym and pool there now......(I live there)
Lamorby Baths are now shut...we have a brand new leisure centre where the old golf clubhouse used to be...
I used the hollies swimming pool as a kid, my primary school, Middle Park Avenue used to take me there many moons ago.0 -
I used to go into the 'haunted house' - now new houses - over the back of willersley park the other side of the river.
lived in the hollies for a few years over the burnt oak lane end (after i lived on marlborough park avenue between montrose and cavendish) and used to go to the gym a lot with my friends and family as it was only a quid to sign a mate in. spent a lot of time on our bikes riding over the mound in the middle as it was great on your bike but its flat now! the other 'haunted house' opposite the gym is now an apartment building. swear we once saw someone looking out of one of the windows at the top! but I think it was just a mannekin - what a thing to leave in there! used to go past the tennis courts on our bikes to see John Regis as he lived that side and had a basket ball net on the side of his house. loved living in there. we had a double garage and i had a birthday party in there one year, was awesome!0 -
Has Lamorbey Park been built over?
I used to play cricket against them years ago and the ground was round the back of The Hollies somewhere in what I assumed was Lamorbey Park.0 -
They bought land from Sidcup golf club on the condition that they built the golf club a new club house and therefore using the land to build the new sports centre. dunno lamorby park....
just used to know 'the pavillion' where i spent many a saturday night (third saturday of every month every young teenager in the early 90's headed there for fizzy pop and penny sweets and Snap's "i've got the power"!
the only other park area apart from the school playing fields is The Glade.0 -

I think Lamorbey Park CC play on the cricket pitch ext to Rose Bruford (sp?) college, a ground owned by Chis N Sid. Not far from the Hollies, but they may have moved around a bit over the years.
Sidcup Golf Club's clubhouse is now the new Lamorbey sports centre and the clubhouse has moved onto old Hurstmere land, just the other side of the Glade pond/lake.0 -

That sounds pretty feasible. I took one of my daughters to look round Rose Bruford when she was choosing her Uni and it looked vaguely familiar. I only played there once or twice and that was way back in the seventies.
I was lucky enough to get a few wickets against them. Dodgy track though if i'm honest!0 -
We used the Hollies simming pool when I was at Primary School, it was horrible!0
