I was a Dr Banardo's boy. I was with Mrs F Ashton for about 3 yrs, at the homestead, which I think has since gone, it was an old pub. I had very happy memories of Bluntisham, if there is anyone who remembers me, I would like to hear from you.
Our head teacher was Mrs Xmas.
Just if I may mention a few names I remember, Richard Tebbitt, Richard Leader, Ales Boulter, Leonard Marsh, Grace Barker, Joy Tebbitt, Sybil Merryweather, Allen Abbott.
I did enjoy living in Bluntisham, so if anyone remembers let me hear from you.
Evacuees
I was evacuated to Bluntisham from south London and stayed with the Reverend Kirby (Minister of the Chapel) and his wife and daughter Patricia.
I used to attend the Chapel regularly. I remember it well and they were very kind to me.
