Old London Road, Patcham, looking north c1960
From the private collection of Martin Nimmo
As a child, I lived on this junction (of Ladies Mile Road and Old London Road) at 72 Old London Road, just outside The Elms between 1962 and 1965. 'The Elms' were a couple of giant elm trees that were a feature of this junction. Close by was the Salmon's Newsagency. I don't think the elms are there anymore, but I believe the newsagency is still run by the Salmon family. This picture brings back so many childhood memories for me!
Yep, Jeff and Mary Salmon, brother and sister, still run the newsagent. Still moaning at kids everytime they go in the shop.
