Re: Southwark Park Road
What a great effort from the Kirby Estate.
These are the comments from three of the residents.
I just hope that other estates will lead from this, because there is so much negativity in the world maybe this might bring a bit of happiness into the world and cheer the country up,” said Alan.
“People associate the St George’s Cross with racism or political issues, but it’s not about that at all,” Geraldine added.
“As you can see we’ve got other flags up we’ve got Spanish, Moroccan, Portuguese, Polish, and French.”
Geraldine Howard, 52, and Alan Putman, 48, who helped put all of the flags up with Chris Dowse, 39, admitted they were a “little bit overwhelmed”.
Geraldine, a pharmacy advisor who has lived on the estate for 29 years.
“You’ve got to cheer on your country and we just feel like there’s so much negative stuff going on in the world at the moment it just cheers everyone up;
the kids love it and it just brings everyone together.”
Well done, Geraldine, Alan & Chris and the Kirby Estate, you certainly cheered me up and brought a smile to my face in New Zealand, if only we could all live in harmony like the Kirby Estate.

The Old Bank Pub. This used to be the HSBC BANK which closed around 2010. Before this it was the Midland Bank taken over by HSBC IN 1992 and changed names between 1992 & 1999.

The picture of the street party was taken in Southwark Park Road between Balaclava Road and Dunton Road I think outside number 32. That’s me in the front row with the pointed hat looking totally bored out of my head the party was funded by a street collection collected by the children over a period of time from donations from people going to and from work ---Names that I can remember from left to right.
