Childhood Days
A Memory of Fenny Drayton.
i was born on a site at Lindley in 1949, one of a family of four girls. Although we weren't very well off, we were loved and memories are of happy days playing on the air-raid shelters, fishing with sticks and string in the duckpond, are all good memories. The roof on our hut leaked when it rained so our beds had thick blankets on and then rubber sheets to stop the rain splashing from the numerous buckets placed in the room to catch the rain. I remember some of the children my sisters and i played with: the Clarkes, Simpsons, Crowsons and Freemans. The Cross family girls were always at our hut and remained close pals. The huts were very cold in the winter and we often went to bed with sweaters and socks on over our pyjamas.
