RE: RE: The Old Villa
I also lived in the Villa from 1960-1965 and have fond memories. I was only young but remember most of these names, and more: Sav, Carlton Brown, Stephen Palmer, Lorain Tewddle, Doe Greathead. We lived on the farm, Pelton Grange Farm, for about five years. The Sandy and the Hilly were our favourite places to play. We were also very frightened of Speedy, I don't think I ever saw him.
