They sold cold pies, sausages & sausage roll,

Yep, there was one down Crown Hill in Croydon.

East Lane, wasn't there a market there? I am sure it rings a bell and I used to go?
quote:Yep, there was one down Crown Hill in Croydon.
Have they all closed down,
the one near East Strret has gone,
the one at Camberwell Green has gone,
and now I hear the one on Bromley has gone.
They had been around for donkies years.

I used to live on the borders of Fulham/Chelsea (near to the Chelsea Football Club).
My husband is originally from West Norwood.

Yes, there was Lassie. Presumably there still is although we don't go anymore.
We always called it 'East Lane' although I do believe it is actually called 'East Street'.

We lived near Putney Bridge initially, then moved to Parsons Green and then where we finally ended up on the Chelsea/Fulham border until I got married and moved to Surrey.
Still miss London though.

Yeah, I do. I keep saying I am going to go back and re-trace the years spent in various places in London. Maybe one day I will
Not sure about the Green Man, it was about 10 years or so ago.

I always remember having a glass of Sasparilla whilst hubby went to get his tub of jellied eels. No way would I entertain him being near me when he was eating those awful things.
Don't understand it really - he hates fish but he loves jellied eels.
