I've just been told about this forum. I lived on Limpsfield Road in the 60's & 70's at No. 70.

I was a good pal with dear old Freddie Guite and Steve Hanwell. Steve now lives in Canada.

I remember a lot of the names mentioned in the posts about Brightside & Hinde House where I went from 1961 to 1966.

Hi,

Ive just found this web site and subject, and know a lot of names from Brightside.

I am a 3rd generation Brightsider, my grandad, Albert Neale was from Brightside, my Dad Ted Neale still lives in Brightside, and I was born in Brightside and lived there for 29 years until I emigrated to Australia in 1998.

I recognise a lot of names from the 70s, of my Dads age, Kiwi Pete and Alanbystreet seem to have grown up in my parents era.

My adulthood centered around the Rising Sun, as did my Dads, and Grandads. Had some good memories in there.

My childhood centered around the park or reck, me and Mr Fiddler never saw eye to eye,although I give him his dues, he kept it spottless.

 

Ill take a trip down memory lane approx 75 \76

 

Limpsfield ; the Abdullas, the Parkers, the Vollums as mentioned, the Peaces, the Rastricks, the Joneses, the Brownleys, Mrs Winterbottem, the Greens, the Hattersleys, the Ellises, the Windles, the Willeys, the Gaffneys, the Johnsons,

 

Stupton; the Hanwells, as mentioned, the Gibbs, the Newtons, the Gills, the Ellises, the Pashleys, the Goodsons, the Waltons

 

Oxted ;The Neales, the Turtons, the Griffithses, the Capewells, Mrs Dasilva , the Scaifs, the Batesies, the Doyles, the Peacocks, the Bakers, the Burgins, the Ashforths, the Lacks, the Coultons, the Goulsons, Sally Atkin, Wilf the cobbler, the Wilsons, the Newcombes

 

All to name a few.

 

It holds some good memories for me Brightside, I do get back every few years although it hasnt got the same community feeling as when growing up in the 70s.

 

Anyone else have memories of 70s Brightside?

Hi Anlabystreet

I know some of the people mentioned here. I started work with Frank Ward - played in the same football team with English Steel. Also new Christine & Malcolm Hardy. I know Mel & Vic Riley. Mel has an electrical business in Rotherham. I married Glenise Brown in 1968 - She's Glenise Jackson now. Glenise was surprised to see her name mentioned particularly that you spelt her name right. She would love to know who you are. I lived not far away on Weedon st. Regards.

Hi I lived on Limpsfield rd in the 60s and remember Terry T and the other names. I lived at number 34 I think, on the left halfway up the hill on the right. My next door neighbours were the Allens my friend Julie lived there, my best mate was Chris Parfremont in the next yard above and my other mates were pauline Guite and Steve Allen. We moved to Jenkin rd mid 60s just up from Sheppards shop opposite the main recs gates. My other mates were Brian Bradshaw,Gordon Mclean,Martin Kelk,Michael & Ian Fidler, they lived at the lodge in the rec. I went to brightside until 69 then onto hindehouse, great times. I also had a few other mates that maybe someone has seen recently, Mark Staniforth,Lee Kirby,Kevin Holmes, his dad had the papershop next to Bells chippy. And how can I forget Dave & Walter Gillot we didn't always see eye to eye but what great lads, hope someone has similar memories regards Mark Wilson

 

Kev Quinn, Dave Hill, dont forget me 'lol' Les Riley, did'nt you go to France and Italy Mark about 1978 grape picking.UTO.

I went to Hinde House from 1958 to 1962. The teachers I remember were, Mr Andrews (games and music) Mr O'Keefe (games) Mr Millner (games) Mr Napier (metalwork) Mrs Napier ( can't remember what she taught) Mr Gill (maths) Mr Hook (english) Mrs Turner (History) I could probably remember a few more if I thought about it long enough. I still see some of the old lads. Dave Irving, Paul Barson, Rodger Ludlam, Cliff Redfearn, Brian Bilby. I don't see many of the old girls around, mind you, they probably wouldn't want to remember me.

 

 

I remember Cliff Redfern he lived just up the road from me on The Oval. My Sister Heather was about his age, maybe a year or two older. Heather was Head Girl
