Crowsley Park Childhood
A Memory of Crowsley Park.
We moved to Keepers Cottage , Crowsley Park in March 1940, we kept the key to the Park Gate as our water well for drinking water was at the bungalow the other side of the gate.
I was told never to tell anyone where they were if they were strangers, it all seemed very secret, I realise now how important the place was.
I have a doll given me the first Christmas by the Baskerville brothers, I don,t remember seeing them again.
We experienced various air raids, one night incendiary bombs fell, one hitting the bungalow roof,which was thatched.
On another occasion we had a time bomb in the garden, I was told at school, not to go home that night but go to another house where my parents would be, it took three days to go off and then only blew the back windows in.
It was a childhood to remember.
