Chris thanks for such a prompt reply. I'll look at the site next. My email address, replacing _at_ with @ and _dot_ with . is (those pesky web trawling bots get everywhere) is tricia_dot_lockhart_@_tesco_dot_net After my Mum died a few years ago, Dad had a passing thought of returning to his roots in London - probably something to do with the fact he has been a lifetime Crystal Palace supporter, living at 7 Wrights Rd, S Norwood for much of his life and indeed only selling that in about the 1960's (just before the housing boom!) The fact that Mrs Chris lived there is a pleasant reminder of the way lives wind and repeat and the house stays more or less the same.

I've come to this late! I saw the programme, not realising where exactly it was. My extra interest now relates to the fact that my descendants lived in Landells Rd (though from the way it was written I originally thought it was Sandell's Rd). The family surname was Buckie (also written Buckee) and they lived at 45 Sandell's Rd in 1894 when my grandmother Ada was born. Her brothers and sisters included Samuel, Edwin, Elizabeth (Madge) and Walter who were all older. My father (b 1922) remembers Landells Rd so I think they lived there for some significant time though the older children were born in Charing. I can see local residents have followed this and wondered whether there was anyone who could email me a photo of No 45 or indeed the Road. I think it is possible the Buckie's became evacuated during the war - cannot remember whether that was because the house had been damaged. Need to check up with Dad but cannot contact him at the moment.
