Childhood by The Pond

This photograph of the Pond was taken from a position at the top of Priory Road, the street where I was born in 1950, at No 43. The Pond was always a focal point for myself and my sisters during the fifties and early sixties. I remember many an occasion walking on the white railings pretending to be a high wire expert. Yes, it led to many falls and grazed knees. Just to the right of this shot stood Queens School, long since demolished. And the entrance to Watcombe Cottages, where i would often escape to visit my grandmother. Probably this one photo holds the most imbedded memories of my childhood.
