A Childhood Remembered
I lived in Market Drayton during the war and went to school there, ending at the Grammar School.
It was wonderful to see therefore what we called the Big Bridge with a glimpse of the side of our house to the left of the full fronted one.
I enjoyed a full varied childhood in the town especially on Market days, playing football and sledging down Salisbury Hill and even chasing girls!
I have detailed all this down in a book I have written called 'A Childhood Remembered' which has been published by Authorhouse and carries the ISBN number 978-1-4259-3627X.It is available through any good book shop or WH Smith in Market Drayton itself. Enjoy!!

RE: RE: A Childhood Remembered
Gwyn - I purchased your book for my dad, John, who lived at Tern House (opposite the baths). He is absolutely loving it and is sharing many memories of delivering papers up Kiln Bank, the strict 'dad' n son combo of the baths and working at the cinema (amongst others). He didn't go to the Grammar School but his sister Arayna (Ray) did and so we are buying another to forward on to her in Cornwall to make her smile too. Thank you for all the happiness. Julie Edwards.
