Parkinsons Store
I have very fond memories of holidays spent with my Aunt Susan Parkinson and my cousins Jane and David Boggia and their daughters Mel and Bev. I helped out in the store one holiday and had my first romance with a lad from the village. We were always made very welcome. My dad used to live and work on Uncle Ben's farm and it was from there he joined the army. Dad's name was Bill Byatt.
I remember playing with the children from the village, we would walk to the little stream that ran under the bridge and paddle in the cold water, watching out for the very large Pike that was rumoured to live in the pond. I have not visited East Harling for many years now and I would love to know if it has changed much.

RE: RE: Parkinsons Store
Whilst researching my family history I have discovered that my dad, Clarence Pearce, and a friend of his (name not known) took lodgings at Parkinson's stores after being released from a prisoner of war camp in Germany in 1945. Does anyone know anything about them at this time? My dad never spoke about the war or his time in East Harling. Regards, Anne
