Looked at the video again, felt a bit teary this time, realised how time has flown all too quick, lots of memories of downham, lived there from 49 - 61 went to downderry infants and left churchdown at 15 to go to work, visited downham and bromley about 3yrs ago, was sad to see all the take aways etc; but i know they are everywhere now. I shouldn,t have expected things to be the same......at least i can keep my memories of happy days gone by. I live in Leicestershire now with plenty of countryside within a couple of miles, thanks again for the nice clear videos and music.

And the girls looked elegant and were brave

The ol Downham Tavern , you was searched at the door for weapons , if you dident have one they gave you one

Hello, the golf club and course went quite a few years ago now and they’ve converted the greens and course back to its natural state. The public can walk all over it now which we could never do when growing up around there. No parts of Beckenham Place Park has been sold off for housing.

Wow golf course has gone, looks like they have sold bits for Housing?

I wonder how many have spotted their husband?

Apart from Browns, Griffin and Horns, are any strip pubs left?

Good old bad days at lunch time !

What always amazes me is have they never seen their wives strip off.

It's at the first (canonical) murder location where Jack the Ripper has been caught in the act. His name was Charles Allen Lechmere. QC James Scobie says the case against him is strong enough for a modern murder trial.

Bell vue.

always wear a tie

About as sexy as a wet Wednesday in Worksop.

I like the rain on the clean clear glass. Not planning and normally a nuisance, but it works.

Just watched your London Strippers video, so thought I'd have a poke around your videos. That was a pleasant watch 😊

Hi Gerry ,my daughter who has now left planet earth last October 2023 😢spent many days on her with her many freinds .we lived at beachborough road .we left in 1993 sad to say .Beautiful vlog ,❤thank you .

Lunch time in the pub. None of these men can blink their eyes. 😮😮😮

And I lived in those flats😊

The Old Bromley Road entrance used to be a bombsite where we played as kids. On 5th November local lads would build a bonfire for all the local kids and in the early summer there was a May Queen and a Maypole on the playing fields.

American servicemen used to play baseball there on Sundays in the 50s.

We used to call that part of the Ravensbourne river the little wood. As kids we would make dens and ‘jumps’ and spend all day there in the summer. Fish for tadpoles and sticklebacks with a net and jam jar. 😌

I remember the trams. I’m 76 now. Beckenham Place Park was right next to our flats and I spent most of my childhood in that paradise. Waving to the steam trains as they went by. Eating broken biscuits which my nan got from Peake Freans where she worked. Playing truant along the Woodland walk and up on Durham Hill. Thankyou so much for these films and filling my heart with wonderful memories.

This is where I grew up in the 50s and 60s. Lived in the flats at the bottom of Downham Way on the Old Bromley Road. My grandparents lived at 203 Downham Way. I went to school at Downderry then Churchdown Girls. What a lovely treat to see it all again.

Good message Don't take what doesn't belong to you!! People don't learn.

Utter shite. Should be about drinker , as there is fuck all about the intended subject

Ah memories! We quite often did a tour of pubs in our local area up in the north-west to catch as many as 4 or 5 lucious young ladies every Sunday. Quite innocent in some ways because 'do not touch' was strictly adhered to by all concerned. All great, if not quite, innocent fun!

What a sad shower of men. All shapes & sizes, all ages. Eyes out on stalks. They make me feel physically sick, the lot of them. Have they nothing better to do; what would they think of their Mothers, wives, girlfriends baring all for a crowd of men in a pub ?

London pub sausage party

Wow so many childhood memories here.. I attended launcelot.. used to go Peter pans pool. Thanks to my dad sharing this, I got to see and remember my childhood memories of being a south London kid. Thank you for sharing this . Also attended Malory 😊

1980, aged eighteen, having done a spell stripping at Raymond's Revue Bar, Candy Davis ( the future Miss Belfridge in Are You Being Served, and much later the award winning thriller writer Mo Hayder ) joined the pub/ stag show/ rugby club stripper circuit in London and the immediate surrounding counties, notably Essex. In 1982, while on a short break in America, aged twenty, she entered and won the 1982 Miss Nude USA beauty pageant. If you search online ( not on TH-cam ) you'll easily find footage of her winning performance. Dancing totally nude, except for a pair of candy red stillettos, she looks utter stunning. Her fellow competitors were all mainly strippers/adult entertainers, yet Candy outshines them all with her performance. Quite obviously Raymond's Revue Bar plus her time stripping on the pub/stag show circuit were wonderful training.

Hi Karen, I remember you and Vic commenting on the downham videos. Thanks for making some comment’s here. I live in Mottingham myself. How did you feel when you saw this video? It must seem such a long way from wales now. I always think that the older you get the more nostalgic you feel about places in the past. The king and queen, I remember, but it’s long gone now and replaced with houses

Mottingham

Hi gerry ❤ I live in Wales now .I lived in Downham from 1965 until 1993 Wittersham Rd untill 1977 with my mum ,dad sister & brother Vic, beachborough Rd was my last property . when I attended malory School, a few kids I knew lived in mottinham . I went to a pub called King & Queens when all the fresh teens went out for gathering , which was nice times . ❤

It does seem rather old looking at the film now. I was there too, as I worked for Bromley Council and like other office workers and colleagues at the time, we were all straining for a look. Got your point about 11 and II 😮

That's funny - seems soo old rather than 1986. I was there - one of the kids that met Her Maj, but I was the same side as the camera when she's doing her walkaround so can't be seen... (And as an aside, it's Queen Elizabeth II - capital i's - not 11 lol)

Thank you for posting this. Flashbacks of my Dad😂😂😂
