Memories

I was born in Upton in 1961 and was brought up and attendent at the infant school there as well as attending Sunday School and being in the church choir for quite a few years. The people I remember are Mrs Gibson the headmistress at Kexby School along with teachers Mrs Garner and Mrs Jones. Then the vicar Mr John Knight an ex military vicar but friendly and at that point soon to be the RE teacher at my secondary school in nearby Gainsborough. The other locals - Nev Barnes, the Mrs Longdon who had the chip shop in the village and the Mr and Mrs Broadbent who had the shop and post office. These were happy days and how I wish they could have continued for ever. Of course all these people have gone now but they will never be forgotten, well, not by me anyway.
