CHILDHOOD

I moved with my parents from Great Dunham in 1935 when I was 2 years old to no 12 which was demolished long since. We had no electricity or running water, just a well in the back garden. I went to the local school when I was 5, Miss Pogson was the head teacher, she was ruthless, today she would be kicked out. She persevered with me and got me through the 11 + to go to Swaffham Grammar School. I lived in the same house until I was conscripted into the RAF at 18.
