Happy evacuee

This photo is of Bank Square, I was evacuated here in 1939 with brother Bob and was placed with the butcher at No16, that is it on right with white facia,
Butcher was Harold Stephens, and his wife and daughter Kathleen.
I still recall the fat pig in the window, holding a tray, and the shiny wall tiles.
The right door post had a mark left on it from debris thrown up when bombs fell just south of town.
We moved down to Boscean after a short time.
Those were some of the happiest days of my life, such kind people.
The big white house in centre was occupied by another member of the family whose son was a sailor, came on leave with a monkey which tore all the curtains.
