Parkstone
I was born in a flat on Ashley Road above Selbys Garage, they used to sell petrol with a pump that used to swing out across the pavement and fill the cars on the road. I used to go to the Regal cinema on Saturday mornings and afterwards spend some money buying marshmallows in Woolworths or getting chips or scraps from a chipshop off Albert Road. We moved to Wallisdown and I went to Saint Aldhelm's School and moved to a brand new school at Alderney and finally went to Kemp Welch until 1963 when I started work. Parkstone has some great memories and I would love to hear from anyone who remembers me or any of my family.
Peter Bennett.

RE: RE: Parkstone
Hi Peter I was born in Parkstone in 1941 at 6 Rozzel Road which was my grandfather's house, his name was George Alfred Bennett, and all the Bennetts come from Parkstone. My uncle Walt had a farm at Fleets Bridge in Oakdale, all my dad's brothers all live in Parkstone and went to school there. I used to do the milk run from when I was 7years old with Masbrury and Parsons on the Ashley Road and also go to the Regal cinema on Saturday morning in the late 1940s and 1950s if I was not working. You might be a cousin of mine as all the Bennett family comes from Parkstone.
