I lived here on the RAF camp in a Nissen hut married quarters. I had my first baby in Worksop Hospital. I used to walk from the camp down to the village to collect my weekly RAF wife's allowance further along the road and then pushing the pram would park it outside of the bakers on  the small parade of shops on the right. Opposite was the church where my son was christened.

RE: RE: RAF Camp

My mum and dad lived in Bawtry married quarters for a good part of 1958. I was born in Worksop General in January. They moved out into one of the Swan Streets (not sure which - DN5? the ones in DN10 seem too grand for NC0 aircrew) for a couple of years after that. Then we were off and away. Now I'm in Manchester and they're in Ballycastle, near Giant's Causeway.
