I have just started a Facebook group called Sidcup-Did you Grow Up Here? It has only been going a short while and we have over 100 members already.

Also many of us are trying to piece together the shops of days gone by, particularly in the late 60s, 67-70 mainly.

Nobody can seem to remember the name of the independent department store which was opposite the top of Hadlow Road.

I only moved to Sidcup in 1967 when I married. Some people have commented that it may have been a Co-op. Well, it may well have but I am pretty confident, not while I was there.

We have also had the name Dawsons but still a lot of people think it is something else.
