My brother and I would watch the occasional Millwall home game hoping to see them lose. Sadly, it was around the time they went 50 odd home matches without losing.
Sounds like the opening line of a letter to Mellow Magic.7 -

I met him when he was the Fulham manager and we played them at The Valley in ‘83. Got him to sign my programme along with John Motson & David HamiltonGribbo said:3 -
The photographer that took those photos of Malcolm McDonald at The Valley lived in Bexleyheath down by Crook Log.
Malcolm had a soft spot for Charlton as did Alex Stock who signed him from Fulham.2 -

Have just been reading up on the bomb damage to the Greenwich and Charlton area during WW2.
Does anyone have a picture of Charlton station before it got hit by a German V1 and totally destroyed? Have found some pictures online of the post-blast damage, but not what it looked like before that.
(I'd always wondered as a kid why the Charlton station building seemed more "modern" than other stations)0 -

Trying to identify the smiling player at the back of this shot with my Dad who started going to The Valley in early 1946, the supposed year of this picture. Is anyone able to confirm?0

Thanks Nick, what an amazing story too - quite incredible! He’s actually easily recognisable having now looked at the photograph of the 1946 cup final team. Will share the article with my Dad. He’s still going to home games, this is his 79th season - I thought I was doing well starting my 51st last weekend! Picture from our seats very close to where we had always stood on the old east terrace.

Bet he has a few tales to tell2 -
A bit jaded now, but all all are after 50yrs.
Signed by the great man himself. An interesting story (well, i think so) comes with this, but you will have to visit the museum to hear about it if they choose to display it.

I've been playing with the Britain From Above website and they have at least one aerial image of Charlton, showing the Valley and the station in 1933. There are lots of images in the area but the map doesn't make it easy to work out which areas are covered by which images. This one's easy because there's a massive, easily-identifiable football ground in it. You'll need to register to zoom into the image and actually see anything.Off_it said:Have just been reading up on the bomb damage to the Greenwich and Charlton area during WW2.

That photo in the link, only shows one side of Victory way for the J&P site, the main factory was on the right side going down the hill.Swindon_Addick said:

I haven't posted on here for a long time ... but when something factually not quite correct appears ... well, what would you do?

The original J&P site in Victoria Way (not 'Victory Way' @guinnessaddick) was very definitely on the right hand side going UP the hill. I assume that the buildings nearer to Fossdene School came later. Check out Claude Johnson's 1877 painting for a snapshot at the time.2 -

I meant Victoria Way, there was a lot of land on the right going up, the buildings on that side were mainly srotage, the main factory was on the left going up when I worked there for 7 years in the 80’s.Dave Rudd said:

Nice one.Henry Irving said:Article on the V1 attack on Charlton station from MOD magazine
That's the picture I'd seen before, but couldn't find anything about what it was like before.
Interestingly (to me, at least) I was in Mile End over the weekend and walked past the site where the first V1 hit London. There's a blue plaque on the wall to mark the spot.0
