I have many happy memories of living in Moreton. We lived in Silverburn Avenue right in the heart of the village, I went to Lingham Lane infants school, then on to the primary where I remember Mr Stockdale being my favourite teacher. Later I went to the secondary modern in Upton road. My dad was head barman at the Coach & Horses pub. We spent every summer down on Moreton shore or just playing round the village. It was a lovely place to grow up in and it was always safe. Very happy times.
One of my fondest memories is of the big Christmas tree at Moreton Cross all lit up, you could see it way up Pasture Road in the dark and to a small child it was magic. I also loved the great hot summers and the very interesting shops in Moreton at that time, much better then than today, happy days at the shore, lots to do and see, spent hours there with my family, that's all most people could afford then, a day at the shore, but we loved it.
