Shared Memories of Wargrave
 Wargrave, the Village 1890 (ref: 27177t) |
Year: 1960
An Idyllic Childhood
I grew up in Wargrave and my memories of the village and the surrounding areas will always be etched in my heart. I lived with my parents in "Ivyhurst", Victoria Road which at that time had a small orchard to the side of the house. The warm, lush summers meant that there was always an abundance of fruit, so much so that my mother used to hang bags of apples and pears on the gate posts for passers-by to take. We lived there during the 1950s and early 1960s and at the beginning I can still remember the Muffin Man who used to walk up Victoria Road ringing a hand bell and calling "Hot Muffins, come and get your Hot Muffins". It really was another way of life then, when as a child the most important thing was to enjoy each endless day. Last edited: 24/06/2008 09:46 by Catherine Edwards |

Wargrave. My adventure playground.
Born in 1950, our first home was the old Nissan huts at Hare Hatch. We moved down to Hamilton Rd in 1953 and I lived there until January 20th 1964. Yes, a date engraved in my memory as it was the end of my great Wargrave adventure playground. I've started a blog recording my life and times as I remember them at; http://platignumpete.blogspot.com/ I hope to see you there. Pete. Last edited: 06/05/2008 09:20 by Peter Moring |
