Living in Godmanchester

Growing up in Godmanchester was a good experience. We lived in St Anne's Lane and I went to school there as well, then went to school in Park Lane. Then in 1956 I went to the Secondary Modern, starting at Brookside and moving to St Peter's when it opened, we marched through Huntingdon to the new school when it opened. The summer holidays were spent playing cricket all day over the parks with Barney Christian and Stan Binge, there was more of us some days, but Stan enjoyed knocking me and Barney out of the grounds, if we got him out he wanted to go home ha ha. Over the Rec on Sundays in the summer it was like a holiday resort, with people coming from everywhere. But it was a nice place to grow up in and we used to know everyone walking round the streets. it would be nice to see more people writing there memories. Danny.
