Early School Days

Mr Richard lived here at the fish and chip shop. Mr Richard was also the PE teacher at Helston Secondary Modern School, Penrose Road. We use to call in to the chip shop on our way home from Scouts at Lowertown. I lived at 89 Maneauge Street, next door to where the Americans had there garages, and when I was younger I would march up and down with my toy gun pretending to be on guard with our American friends. They use to make doughnuts in the garage with a fire in an old oil drum where they placed another container with oil in to cook the doughnuts.
