Raised In The Lodge, Beddington During The Early 1920's

A Memory of Beddington.

My mother grew up on the Lodge in Beddington. Her family lived there throughout the war years and remembers the V2's and sheltering in the basement of the orphanage during air raids. Somewhere we have photos of milk being delivered by dog-drawn cart. A psalm was written around the windows on the ground floor of the Lodge. Mum and her sister slept in the bedroom over the kitchen and often talk about how cold it was....

I took her back for her 90th birthday.
