You must have been close to the entry to the 'pimple' at the bottom of Hurlingham Road (we called it the gulley), we used to go in from Sidcup Road at the top end.
I remember the dirt track racing, we had Raymond Nye from Leyton Grove as our best at it.
We were the middle house in the block of 3 in the piccy attached. As you can possibly tell - the original entry to the pimple was where the white car is now parked - (note the footpath/kerb crossover still in place) although when I was there that entry (about 15 foot wide) was closed at both ends. Sometime after I left in 1964 I presume the council sold off the gullyway to the houseowners who extended their house over it. My brother (Richard Wall) said he often cycled in a team there - although when I was around it was cheap motorcycles & not cycles.
