I used to live in Aylesbury Crescent from 1946 to 1966, I have fond memories of the Kingstanding ex service mens club my late father Sam Banks used to drink there in fact it became his local, I remember him becoming a door man it must have been in the 70s I think,many a saturday night he came home a bit worse for wear falling over the privet hedge he would always get an ear bending of mom.I remember going to the swimming baths I learned to swim there in a fashion with the school dulwich road and later warren farm girls,my brother terry used to be a paper boy for Browns, I remember they were lovely people,and Mr and Mrs Friend I would go with my little shopping list with my money wrapped up in it to do an errand for my Mom, they were a lovely couple always had time for you,oh such fond memories
