Tonbridge Teen and Twenty Club

Teen and Twenty Christmas Party - early 1960's

This is a repeat post from about a year ago as recently a number of people have asked about the hall that used to be in Lyons Crescent. It was used by many different clubs and societies, and probably by The Local Health Authority as weekly vouchers and orange juice were distributed to families for their children from this site.

The Teen and Twenty Club started at the Working Man's Club in Preston Road, at the end of Avebury Aveue, and was run by P C Judd and Mr and Mrs Scott. It moved to the small hall in Lyons Crescent around the early 1960's. The hall has since been demolished and been replaced by houses.  It would have stood next to the now Stradbrook Clinic.  It is believed that the band in the front row were from a local village, maybe Hadlow or Matfield, and on the night wore purple jumpers.  Does anybody remember the band or their name?

The newspaper cutting of the fashion show was taken  around the same time, and in same hall, in the early 1960's.  It is thought that the clothes for the show were lent by Gunners Department Store, formerly on the corner of Lyons Crescent.

The person who provided the two images does remember a few of the people in both photographs, but do you?  Please get in touch if you recognise yourself or anyone in either of the pictures.
