The Hatches

A Memory of Frimley Green.

Living in Mytchett and going to the Infant school in Frimley Green during the war years, I had the choice of walking two ways home, Yes we walked then, not picked up in the family car. Through the Hatches to Mytchett via Farnborough North or past the green along Mytchett rd and Home via Hamesmoor rd. Towards the end of the war there were work gangs of Italian prisoners of war at work in the Hatches. They were very friendly.
There were air raid shelters in the school playground and we spent a fair bit of time in them. If the weather was very bad in the Winter we would be put on the Yellow bus( from Camberley) to Days stores in Mytchett and then I would walk through the Potteries lane to home
