Just a few memories of Neckinger estate that I have,were you there at the time,ring any bells?
If you have any memories of this estate around at the same time,it would be great to read about it!

Playing 'tin can alley' with 20 or 30 kids in the square.
Walking to Boucher school,cutting through Spa park to wind up the winos on the benches.
Playing for Neckinger football team.
Coming home covered in eggs and flower from the yearly Bacons school 'getogether' at Southwark cathederal.
Hiding down the air raid shelters under Neckinger in the rain.

Getting free 'crackling' from the Spa chippy.
Sneeking into the Fleece for an underage beer or two!
