on 19 Mar 2011 Lloyd Guyenette said hello, I believe this picture was taken from the south side of the road at the junction with Newgate Road. I was born above the shop four along from the clothing outfitters shown in the picture, in 1941

on 15 May 2011 Roger Davis said In the 50s we lived at 88 then a green grocers, I think the photo looking at the left of it was taken looking south about 4 shops from newgate rd.

on 18 May 2011 Geoff Davis said Lloyd is right, [he must have changed] the photo was taken opposite newgate rd. Outside the shop where my family and I lived from 1946 to 1955. E Davis & sons Fruiterers and Greengrocers. Ah, happy days.

on 15 Jul 2011 Mick Norman said I had a relative who married a Frederick Smith and lived at number 89 in 1901. I think his 1901 census entry occupation says 'Boot Dealer', though it may say 'Book Dealer'.
Would number 89 be the nearest shop to the camera in the second terrace (the one with the bow windows on the 2nd storey)? -
on 01 Sep 2011 Noman Cox said I was born at 108 Bohemia Road in 1934, and then lived at 27 Salisbury Road before the family moved in 1939. My maternal relatives name was Venner, who were the tenants at 27 Salisbury Road. I remember there was Butlers hardware store on the corner of Bohemia & Salisbury Road. My parents also had a wet fish shop in, I believe, Tower Hill.

on 23 Nov 2011 Linda King said My grandmother Ada Banks was born in St Leonards, Hastings, in 1883. In 1891 she was living at 74 Bohemia Road with her parents, John and Georgina, and some of her 6 siblings. Her father was a butcher. In 1911 they were all living at 61 Bohemia Road (a 3 storey house, with lodgers), she now assisting in business (presumably her father's butcher's business). Both were corner shops. John, her father, had been born in Pevensey.

on 22 Apr 2012 Nev Clay said My parents owned the greengrocers at no. 51 in 1951/2. My sister Diana and I attended St. Paul's School. Did you?

on 13 May 2013 Sylvia Tolcher (prev Pelluet) said Oh how lovely! I grew up at 25 Salisbury Road and went to school at the old St Paul's (now the YMCA). Bohemia Road was so busy and provided all we needed. We only went into town on Saturdays - for the library, Woollies and Dimarcos! I hope someday to spot my parents in one of these old photos! They lived at 132 Bohemia Road from 1939 to 1945, when they moved (with me on the way) to Salisbury Road

on 08 Feb 2014 Norman Cox said I too lived in Salisbury Road, next door at number 27. I lived there with my parents and grandparents and aunt from soon after my birth, in 1934 at 108 Bohemia Road, until 1939. My grandmother died at 27 Salisbury Road in 1935. My grandparents name was Venner. I also started School at St.Pauls and can remember Bohemia Road being busy with the many shops. I remember Butlers ironmongers being on the corner of Bohemia Road and Salisbury Road. My parents had a wet fish shop in Tower Hill, just off Bohemia Road. I was Christened at St. Pauls Church, Bohemia.

Does anyone know why?
Thanks

on 28 Jul 2015 Traci Eames said Hi,
That can't be far from Magdalene Terrace (where Lidl is now). My 5x Great Aunt lived & died there in 1880s. I managed to find 1889 map for that area and found where Magdalene Terrace used to be. Pity its not there anymore otherwise I'd of looked at the house and take a picture to go with the family tree. Strange that I now live here and most of my ancestors lived & died here! -
on 12 Nov 2018 Chris Olney said NORMAN COX:
My Great Grandparents and Grandfather lived at No 36 Salisbury Road.(Born c1870s) My Great Grandfather was a well known Painter & Decorator in the area and had large Shed not far from there in a little unmade lane. His name was Ernest Charles Olney and would have been there at least until 1940. There were three daughters; Elsie, Maud and Daisy. Mum was called Annie Olney. I have been there several times and many decades ago, I remember the Kitchen which had a Gulley from the sink which ran half the length of the stone kitchen floor into the drain, exposed, right in the centre of the Kitchen!! Health & Safety, nope, what's that?
Great Grandfather had at least one mishap, whereby some local properties were three stories high. His Painter friend was told NOT to climb the Ladder without supervision, and once at the top, was working away and the ladder (Wooden type), flexed and slipped. The Painter fell to his death from probably in excess of 25 feet!! I believe, but not sure, Ernest was sued? -
on 12 Nov 2018 Chris said NORMAN: Additional note. My Dad spent a while at St Paul's School during the war. His name was Denis Keith Olney (one 'n') and came from Leatherhead, Surrey.
