In my days – more community spirit. I was there for the New Cross fire. We pulled up outside the house but decided to go home because we were too tired The next day, we read on the news what had happened.
In the area, there were also 3 brilliant schools that are no longer. St Joseph’s, St Theresa’s & Our Lady of Lords.
I remember the riots in Lewisham & the times of blackouts (no electricity) & the floods from the river Quaggy. There was a Blackheath funfair. A family event. Now there is People’s Day held in Catford. There was a town hall in Catford where we watched the 10 commandments.
