My family lived in Ladywell, my mum, dad and older brother and sister moved with me at aged 4 months into a 3 bedroomed terraced house in malyons road which had belonged to my dad's late mother. Our back garden overlooked the railway lines and the park was just behind it. I remember many a night hearing the clickety clack of a train as it made its way down the track and it would occasionally stop on the tracks outside our bedroom windows. I would watch the lights of the carriages move off around the room as they reflected on our bedroom wall....I would find this strangely comforting and the sounds of the train moving off with that familiar sound, clickety clack, clickety clack. It would help me fall asleep listening to this. Brings back many memories of my childhood, especially now that both my mum and dad are gone.
I lived in Fordmill Road in the 1970's and our house was behind the railway lines. My dad used to work in the evenings in London, and he would catch the train and me and my sister would wave when the train went past, we couldn't see him, but he could see us. I loved going to sleep listening to the sound of the trains going past, and I missed it when I moved. I had a friend who lived at Malyons road, we were friends for a long time, but sadly lost touch when I moved.
My Brother brilliant video, i've lived in ladywell since 1970 from Telegraph hill with my Mother,Brothers & Sisters, Wearside Road it was a wonderful community then i love the Borough.
I spent much of my youth and adult life in Ladywell.I now live in Rural Saskatchewan Canada.Your Vids are superb and always remind me of the "Old Manors".Good work mate,keep them coming
I'd been there for only 2 weeks (stayed in a host family), but it was enough to fall in love with this place. I lived in Slagrove place and travelled by train every day. I love that time))) 2017, November 💜
I remember it being 'The Black Bull' when I was growing up back then. It would have "rockers night," where all the young people would dress up as rockabillies..... the girls in their beautiful 1950s dresses, the fellas with their crepe shoes, drainpipe trousers and DA hairstyles. When my mum and dad married back in 1960, this pub is where they had their wedding reception, in the rooms upstairs.
My family moved to Arthurdon Road (between Ladywell Road and Chudleigh Road) in 1959 when I was 5. Interesting to see how virtually every shop has changed its function and identity, and some disappeared entirely. I enjoyed living there quite well but rarely went to Ladywell Rec except as access to the church path and the library , as my memories of the park are of being attacked by thugs and perverts. Shame but a fact that not everything was as rosy as people might care to think. I want my country back? I don't think so.

London Districts . Mate, love these videos. Born and raised in Peckham, moved to forest hill, then Sydenham. Now living in Bellingham. The information is interesting, the theme running through them all is “gentrification “ Yes it helps the economy of the area, but I think we’re losing “ the common touch” keep up the good work mate. Thanks
Mark Miller Yeah, SE London will never feel the same as it did pre-gentrification. Suppose that’s just part of living in a international city I guess. Shame though.

Loved this one! I agree, the transition from day to night really expands the towns vibe and features. Great work as always!!!
Terrific video. You should definitely do more day to night videos like this one now that winter's coming.
Wonderfull memories of Ladywell great work Dewyne really enjoy these videos 👍
Thanks for your comments.
Love your videos.... they are so informative and make me want to come home to S.E.London
Thank you. You should come back. We'd forgive you, in time.
If I win the lottery I will be back lol.
Forgiveness will then be immediate :)
My Brother brilliant video, i've lived in ladywell since 1970 from Telegraph hill with my Mother,Brothers & Sisters, Wearside Road it was a wonderful community then i love the Borough.

Your videos are wonderful thanks I'm in Spain so I miss Lewisham area
Ladywell is home since 1993.
A decent place to live and work. ❤

Good one Dewyne. Remember the Fox and Firkin when it wasn't such a cool place to go to and a bit rough. Looks great now though.

Ladywell Park connects with Lewisham and Catford.
I lived here till i was 20 now 30 years on an far away im glad i grew up hear with everone from everwere lol
The only pl,aces I recognise (from 1960's) are the Swimming Baths , H E Olby and the remnants of the Rec.
I was born in ladywell (not in lewisham hospital, home birth) and have lived near my whole life.
I was born in Manor avenue, Deptford in 1964....a home birth too. I was 4 months old when my family moved to Malyons road, Ladywell village.
Romford would be an interesting place to film and talk about as it has a lot of history.
Noted.
Originally part of the county of Kent prior to the London Government Act 1963 (31/7/1963). Creation of Greater London (1/4/1965).

Nice cut at 2.15
Pleased you noticed that, was quite proud of that little cut there. Are you an editor?
The first minute of the vid is Lewisham high street
Weird isn't it? It runs all the way into Rushey Green up to George Lane.
@@LondonDistricts the fact that I've lived in ladywell for over 5 years and I still don't know this
