Maps of West Ewell and North Cheam.
Showing Poole Road, West Ewell in 2003, and North Cheam in the 1980’s.
No longer “in the country”…
Poole Road, West Ewell.
Danetree Road School remains in 2003, as does the “Hogsmill River” open space. Maps of this area don’t form part of the London A-Z in the 1950’s and 1980’s, hence the use of a 2003 map.

North Cheam – almost Worcester Park.
It must have been much more convenient for Alf to go to work for Kingston’s butchers here in North Cheam, rather than cycle to Venners in New Malden.
Alf’s family remained around this area – Sutton, Cheam, New Malden, Worcester Park and nearby Wimbledon – for many more years, including into the 2000s.

The location of the “Sun” Public House, Greenwich.
To the north of Crooms Hill is the modern location of the Cutty Sark, which my dad believed to be close to the location of the “Sun” public house. These two maps show this area in the 1950’s and again in the 1980’s.
