Ham and Petersham were our playgrounds – by KS

My mum used to make us up sandwiches and we’d go up to, walk up to Petersham Park for the day and that’s the bit at the bottom..  Where the swings are opposite the Dysart Arms.  You know and there used to be a park keeper there that kept an eye on us.  It was so free and I don’t mean financially, you know – Ham and Petersham were our playgrounds.
