Scamperoo, 160 was between the shops in the photo and the shops at the top of the road, a few doors down from the Post Office. I went to Hawthorn Road School in the 70's......
It is very sad as the shops now aren't like they were - lots of charity shops and £1 shops!!! Most seem empty most of the time.
I learned to swim many decades ago at the old Kingstanding bath. Not sure which road they were in though. They have a Leisure Centre for Kingstanding at Dulwich Road.
Do any of the members originating from the Kingstanding area have any knowledge of Birdbrook road in the Fifties.
My husbands grandfather lived there.
