Early Memories of an Ascotonian.

My earliest memories of Ascot were of the wonderful people who lived in and around the Fernbank Road area. These people were and still are the true people of Ascot. Although we were all "Working-class" we had the most wonderful childhoods any children have ever had. This was a true community. Everybody had their place and were proud of it. We saw many changes and adapted to them, people were much happier then. We only had three leaders and organisers, the Church, the local Pub: and the Produce Association and all worked together to run our village.
Wonderful days which I am sure will not be repeated.  Richard Dale.

RE: RE: Early Memories of an Ascotonian.

I join Richard in his view of Ascot, and of Fernbank Road. By the way, I stayed with the family Russell (mother Sue, children Damon and Natasha) in summer 1975, at 101 Fernbank Road. I would love to contact them again. Can anybody give me a hand in finding their whereabouts?
