My mum & dad were Rose & Charlie (my mum was blind) and there was myself, Susan ans my little sister Bernadette! We moved out in 1966 as they were demolishing the houses but I went back a couple of years ago and the street has gone as well!!I lived in Southwark just off Harper Road in the 50's and 60's on Ralph Street where the park now is between Dickens Square and Falmouth Road. Does anyone have any pictures of Ralph Street or the little shops that were on the corner of Ralph Street and Harper road or pictures of the bombsite that sat empty for years - any information as to where I can locate some photos would be greatly appreciated. As we get older we seem to find solace in the place we grew up and I remember playing on the bombsite as a kid. We were the Mapes family and we lived at 16 Ralph Street there were 6 boys and one girl and we lived next door to the Malcolms.
