I used to go skating at Streatham rink in early 60's, on a Saturday evening when they often had a live group, seen many top 60's groups perform there, resturant upstairs
really packed everywhere, I used to go on for the 10 mins ladies speed skating session, the place to be :))
I skated at Streatham nearly 30 years ago, & I skate at Streatham now with my kids. It's a crime that this place is closing down - and it seems less and less likely that Tesco are going to keep their promise to replace it.
How sad to hear that Streatham is under threat and will probably close down. I watched both my brothers Tommy Loughran and Eddie Loughran speed skate here in the 60s and early 70s. It was indeed as Diane and Roland said, a beautiful lively place to be. I would get up at stupid o'clock to go with Tommy on the back of his pushbike to skate on a sunday morning. Instead of losing this wonderful piece of history we should be restoring it for future generations to enjoy. If i ever win the lottery.....
