Post or Ask something here in 'Kennington' Kennington Clayton Buildings Lollard StMy mother, Mary Bridges, was brought up in Clayton Buildings Lollard Street and I remeber visiting my nan when she still lived there in the early 1950s. I've such vivid memories of the building and, as I've got older, wish I'd written down the stories. However, I would love to get hold of a photograph of Clayton Buildings or hear from anyone who also remembers them. They represented a very hard life, but I hope they were not demolished without any record being kept. Hilary Mail-me Post reply -->London Kennington 13 Oct Kennington What is Hotspur street like to live inHi all, Looking for a move into London. The block of Flats around HOTSPUR STREET have a few apartments for sale. It is just to the south of Black Prince Street. What is this area like to live in - crime, violence (as if they are mutually separate!) and the friendliness of the people etc? Is this part of the congestion zone, if so, how does someone manage to just KEEP a car there? I rarely use one, but do have an old motor for longer trips.

Post reply -->London Kennington Christine 29 Aug Kennington HURLEY ROAD KENNINGTON LANEI was born at 15 Hurley Rd Kenninton Lane in 1949 - my name was Margo Hathaway and I enjoy reading about all the names of the old streets around Kennington. Some of the names from Hurley Rd were the Heddermans, Mangans, St Johns, Kettles, May, Rumbles, like everyone else I was sent to Bob White's for the shell fish - I didn't go to the school around the corner I went to Crampton Primary just off the Butts - when I go back for a look around at all the new buildings I can't really say they are much of an improvement - all the streets seem souless - the houses I knew as a kid seemed to have much more about them than the faceless ones I saw. We had shops on the corners - Barrs, Farrars, Queenies and the pub the East Arms on another corner - it wasn't luxury but I have some good memories of the place before I moved to Peckham in 1963 - now live in the West Country but would love to hear from anyone that remembers me and my brother Rick Post reply -->London Kennington mawalsh@tiscali.co.uk 26 Oct Kennington Sancroft StreetHi there I am new to the area and been doing a little private research about its history and stumbled accross a number of WW2 photos.

She was attacked by two brothers in or around '95. Im trying to get information but the police are reluctant to tell me about it. I know it was ten years ago but i found out years later. Her sisters wanted it kept secret for some reason and i can respect that, but i would like to hear from anyone who knows anything about it please. She lived with Bert who died not long before and they used to work at the Criterion in London.
