Gamlingay, Church End c1965 (ref: G277006)
Year: 1977 Living in Church End
I lived at number 14 for about 11 years and I miss it greatly. My parents moved from Cambridge and I was born at Mill Road in 1968. I remember long summers and playing in the fields just outside the village boundary. Neighbours were Joy and Andrew, Olive and Ray and across the road in the farm opposite was Ricky the Alsation dog. My mother had MS and my parents seperated in about 1978 when my Grandparents bought the cottage to look after my mum. They missed Anglesey too much and in 1979 we left. I still miss the place greatly and try and return for a look around every couple of years. I was in the local cub pack and after attending primary school went to the Village College briefly. I remember a family garage business called Norman's which I see has long gone and I had a friend called Edwin Bristow who lived in the big house near the church. The bakers shop has gone I see but that was a regular place for Cream Eggs and other sweets.
