Playing On The Bomb Sites

A Memory of Kilburn.

I have a vivid memory of playing on the bomb site in Cambridge Place, I was 10 years old and a real tomboy. As my grandmother lived at number 11 Cambridge Place together with my Aunt Peg, Aunt Patsy and Uncle Peter, it was easy to get into the site by her back yard. We used to make camps out of anything, get what food we could get from our mums and stay all day on the site, even in bad weather. What fun we all had! My father was the local chimney sweep together with his brothers Charlie, Harry and John.
