May is Local and Community History month. A time to highlight and raise awareness of the past of our local areas and communities.
Local resident Christine Henley was born in 1947 and grew up in Hilly Fields, Lewisham. In this episode of Library Words taken from Lewisham Voices Summer 2020, Christine recounts life in the post war years with childhood memories of the prefab she grew up in and the games they played. Her memory for recounting details of her early life, the neighbourhood shops, local community and family life really brings this period of near history alive.
The account with images is in Lewisham Voices on Facebook.
