Dear all
I lived in Barnmead Road from 1983 until I left for Bristol in 1987 and used to commute into Victoria from Kent House - aah happy times particularly the great storm in October 1987!!
Barnmead Road was private then - is it still?
Regards BigAl

Dear all I lived in Barnmead Road from 1983 until I left for Bristol in 1987 and used to commute into Victoria from Kent House - aah happy times particularly the great storm in October 1987!! Barnmead Road was private then - is it still? Regards BigAl It's still part of the Cator Estate and still unmade. I too used to commute from Kent House and remember making several trips to both Kent House and Clock House Stations the morning after the storm of 1987. There were certainly no trains from either and I was told that there were something like 115 trees down on the line! Once I'd abandoned hope of getting in to work, I walked to Beckenham Cricket Club, surveying the damage on the way, and found many of my cricket colleagues in the bar who also couldn't get in! A decent session subsequently developed!

Yes likewise - I cycled up to Streatham where me & a mate (who incidentally also now lives in Bristol) visited the local hostelry where we stayed for the rest of the day, and like you a good session was enjoyed by all!
I left Barnmead Rd in 1986 and moved to Kings Hall Rd where I stayed until December 1987 when I moved to Bristol.
