Huntingdon, High Street c1965
Ref: H136076
I remember Huntingdon's High Street in 1965. I was only a little girl then, holding on to my grandmother's hand. My grandparents were Kate and Reginald Wayman and they lived in Hartford Road opposite the River Ouse. Nanna and I would often walk to the town centre and she'd buy me a 'Pixie' comic; there were some lovely shops, I remember 'Fishers' (I think), and 'Steadmans'. I loved Huntingdon where I had many happy times as a child when I went to stay with Nanna and Grandad Wayman. Nanna was from Godmanchester (a Woods) and she'd worked at 'the mill' making lingerie until she was 29 when she married. Once she made a pair of golfing socks to be presented to the future Edward VIII. Grandad came from Offord Cluny and he worked in Brampton for 'Mr Riddiford' as a managing director. They moved to Huntingdon around 1960 and lived at number 128 Hartford Road. Wish I could visit.... perhaps I might... I send love XX XX!
