St Olave District, Bermondsey. She was living in 86 Trescillian Road, Brockley with Aunt Anne (Elizabeth (Annie) Mary), who owned the property.332 She was living in 51c Trescillian Road (top floor flat). The flat was reached by climbing concrete steps at the back on the outside (quite steep), entering through a communal door, then climbing stairs inside with attractive bannisters on one side, and a dado rail painted in red gloss, with large-patterned textured paper beneath painted in black gloss. The window on the landing had pretty coloured glass around the edge. There was a stove in the fireplace of the good-sized lounge, with mica windows, and display cupboards containing many knick knacks that I liked to play with as a child. There was a black upright piano in the dining room. The concrete steps outside were quite scary when I was little. A small garden lay behind the property, with a mulberry tree in the middle of the lawn. Kathy (Katherine Joan Wallwork (nee Sales)) She was baptized in St James Church, Bermondsey.332
