How Burghfield Common Has Change.
A Memory of Burghfield Common.
I have lived all my 60+ years in Burghfield Common and I have seen it totally transformed. I was born and brought up in Three Firs Way, and lived here until 1987 when I got married and moved to Hunters Hill. Growing up in Three Firs will always be special to me. I still have a photo that was taken from my parents bedroom of the street and my dads lorry. Even being early evening it was the only vehicle in shot, and all houses had front gardens and not driveways. We were able to have bike races around Three Firs, Brocus Road and Normoor Road without any fear of traffic. I also remember the Rag and Bone man coming round, the Wellers shop on the other side of the allotments, then the Wellers mobile shop coming round, Clifford Dairies, the Williams Coal deliveries, with the coalman always getting a cup of tea on Saturdays from my mum, and of being schooled at Mrs Blands Primary School, Garlands Junior School and Willink Secondary Modern (as it was then). My how the Willink has changed, the one I went to was a mere shadow of what is there today.
