Beech Hill Corner
I remember this place so well, this is the bus stop I used to use from Mill Chase School. Many an ugly scrap would occur on the school bus with the kids from the Erie camp, I think that is one of the old army huts the families used to live. I lived at Ludshott Grove in the new houses opposite the camp. I remember a good old copper called PC Pike, he was a great old soul. I wonder if he is still with us, he used to give us a clip around the ear for scrumping the apples from the orchard near the deep pond at the bottom of Beech Hill. Those were the days.

RE: RE: Beech Hill Corner
I remember alighting the bus at Beech Hill Garage also, on our way home from Millchase up until 1963. We lived at Chestnut Cottage (corner of Honeysuckle Lane), and also got caught scrumping apples. Beautiful days and memories. I also had a great passion for cars and would often stop and help and chat to the forecourt attendant at the garage, it gave me a great chance as a youth to sit in the B M C cars in the showroom and, as all youths do, dream. I did experience confrontation with a few of the Erie Campo lads and a few times had to talk them out of physical contact with my younger brother. (I just remembered, my family did live in the camp until I was 5 or 6.)
