Bankes Road and Garretts Green Lane

[RussH]

I know there are a few threads with Bankes Road and Garretts Green Lane mentioned, weren't sure which one to gatecrash so thought I would create a new thread.

I was wondering if anyone grew up in or around Bankes Road in the 40's or likewise Garretts Green Lane in the 50's. I was wondering is anyone may remember a family by the name of Harrisons. My father was Neil Harrison and his parents were James and Kathleen Harrison

I lived in Bankes Road until I was four(early 50s) then lived in Garretts Green (I went to the college) but not actually on Garretts Green Lane. Sorry but I don't remember anyone named James and Kathleen Harrison.

Hi Rosie,

I know this is a bit old now, apologies.

I wonder if you might remember any one called Neil Harrison or Steve Harrison then?

Hi Russ

I'm afraid not. I was only just four when we moved from Bankes Road to live near Garretts Green but I don't remember a James and Kathleen Harrison nor Neil or Steve Harrison from either location.. I will ask my siblings if they remember them.

In 1950's the kids would go to the diamond dump and scatch around in the soil and find "diamonds" all very vague not sure exactly where, somewhere in Garretts Green, what could they have been? Please someone please remember!
