Childhood

A Memory of Timperley.

As a baby we moved to Park Road from Old Trafford We lived there from 1937 to 1940. My first memory is lying in my pram playing with my toes and watching the birds flying to the terrace. It had three bedrooms and three rooms downstairs; front and back rooms and kitchen with a large boiler to wash the clothes plus a wooden airier to dry them. At the bottom of the garden was a field with cows. When I was four we left Park Road and moved to Wilmslow to escape the bombing.
