Hello Margaret,

Don't know when you moved to Cranston Road but as a boy I helped deliver milk along Honor Oak Road in the 1960's, including the police flats. Yes, Centre block was lovely inside and the stairs and landing were kept immaculate. The trees bordering Honor Oak Road were wonderful and the cul de sac and houses at the rear of the flats were pretty tidy too.

I went to Fairlawn Primary school from around 1959 to 1965 and I recall that some of the other children that attended lived in the police flats.

Interestingly, I also recall delivering the milk to a certain Mr Brough who lived on another part of the round at the top of Forest Hill. I never knew him personally but I understand that he was (or had been) a headmaster. My friends and I used to ride our bicycles near his house and on more than one occasion he told us to clear off!

I also remember Saturday morning pictures and of course the park and museum are still going strong.
