I was born in the High Street, just next to the existing Spar shop, which used to be Tustin's garage and also the Fire Station. My late grandfather, Bert Slinger, was a builder who lived on the premises which is now the Chinese takeaway for many years.
I still have quite a few relatives living in High Bentham.

In this photograph you can see the top of the Semon Convalescent Home just beyond the reservoir. A fair walk westwards then brings you to the Swastika Stone, which is unique in this country. Other examples have been found in Tossene in Sweden and Mycenae in Greece and all depict fertility and religious symbols. The council placed the iron railing around... [more]
