Like Coming Home

My memories of Silverdale are many and varied. The family homes of my parents Betty Bolton and Dennis Shorrocks were there and we would return once or twice a year. I remember playing with cousins, in woods or lotts or on Castle Barrow (pepper pot) or in the attic in Grandad Bolton's on Cove Road. But the thing that gets me, even now years on, is the drive from Warton to Silverdale. My heart lifts with joy, "I'm coming home."

Warton to Silverdale, whichever way you went it had to be by Silverdale Crossings, Betty Bolton and Dennis where at Silverdale School when I was there, that's another memory.
