Prefabs
A Memory of Newport.
My early memories are of the Nash Road Prefabs. Those flat roofed single level houses built after the war. These were later named Cheshire Avenue. We, Mum, Dad and brother John, lived at No 35 overlooking the field owned by farmer Dicky Walters. I have great memories of playing with other kids in the fields and Spytty Park. I remember going to the bake house on Nash Road at the end of the day and buying a loaf of bread for threepence so they did not have to throw it out. The "Prefabs" had a great community spirit and I remember several street parties. Mum would get me to run to Carters shop on Nash Road for some things and take the ration book with me. We left there in about 1957 and moved to a new house at Novello Walk, Ringland Estate.
They were great times.
