I remember Bradfords the baker, and the Co-op milkman, and all the Co-op numbers for the divvy written on the wall by the front door, so the milkman read it when he came for his money on a Friday. I remember Tommy Clayton the local window cleaner for Cranbourne road, Tansley etc, and all the families were big in those days, mine was the Yeomans. I remember the Swains, Tunacliffes, Cocharans, Sheldons, and the Bardsleys on the Tansley road, oh those were the days!
I only remember Graham Sheldon, and Brian, they lived in Hurlingham road, I had good days in Sutton Park, those days you had to pay to get in, but we used to sneak over the fence, and try and hide from the park keeper, those were the days!

Although, I never remember this being called Conker Island, I certainly remember the pre-fabs. They were built from asbestos sections delivered and assembled on a concrete slab.
