Forge Cottage (Blacksmith's Cottage)

A Memory of Easthampstead.

My family and I lived in Forge Cottage (known to us as the Blacksmith's Cottage) from about 1962 to 1964, whereafter we emigrated to Canada. I have fond memories of the cottage and its low ceilings, the Aga in the kitchen, the huge garden which bordered a school (St Michael's?), and of course the church up the road where we went once a week. I remember playing in the garden and finding pieces of blue/white china hidden in the dirt, the apple tree that came down in a storm, the winter we had enough snow to build an igloo. At that time there were fields behind the house (all built on now). If anyone has any photos or other memories of the house and area I would be interested to hear from you.
