Going To The Post Office, Atterburries And Salvation Army On Sunday

A Memory of Sompting.

My memories are of going to Mr Atturberries (the spelling of name may be wrong) to buy sweets and also just next door I think was the Salvation Army Hall, which a lot of the village children attended on a Sunday afternoon. Also in the picture is the Smugglers restaurant which is where I gained my first employment after leaving school but sadly it didnt quite work out. My Dad wouldn't let me go because the hours (he said) were too long for a 15 year old! Just further along West Street was and still is The Gardeners Arms where my friend Sally and myself would sit and pretend to like lager and lime but when nobody was looking we threw it out of the window - the money we wasted! I hope you enjoy reading this, one of many happy memories of living in Orchard Cottages West street. Linda Milburn (nee Reardon)
