Postcards: Born in a house in Lewisham

I was born in Lewisham in a house and lived there until the day I got married.

I remember being able to see the bell tower of the church opposite Primark from my back garden before the flats were built. I also remember Ladywell being flooded – the only way across was someone rowing you across in a boat.

The old school behind Lewisham swimming baths was the school I went to at the age of four. The old swimming pool, fire station and police station have now been used as other things.

Lewisham has changed very much over the years.
