I was born in Slaugham at No1 Carpenters Arms in 1961. It was the very last house on the right hand side before the White Gate. What a great time all of us kids had and I hope they share fond memories like I do. The Talmans, The Shoplands and then of course us, The Bottings. There were 5 girls, 4... [more]

Several of the local lads and I took the bell from the chapel on the bridge and for a laugh we hung it over the bridge. When large trucks passed underneath, it rang so loud it could be heard all over the village!

I also went to Nuthurst church with my friend from next door, Jennifer, also her mum. My friend and myself started school together. At home we had no electric, no gas, so we had to use candles, and... [more]
