Family Lived In Tylors Green Between 1939 Untill 1970s
A Memory of North Weald Bassett.
My family moved from Moreton to North Weald in 1939, I was 9 year old at the time. My father was called Thomas Yeldham and became the local cobbler, my mother was called Maud. While still at school I had a Saturday job at Churches Butchers, then when i left school at 14 I went to Churches as an apprentice butcher.
While there, in 1948 I was called up for my National Service. Sadly I never came back to live in North Weald, as I settled in Devon, but my parents lived in North Weald untill the 1970s. My father is buried in North Weald church yard, after his death my mother moved to Ongar.
I can remember playing football on Saturdays against the Belgium Air Force boys, as I lived near the bottom of the Air Field, and I would regularly try and climb the Marconi pylons.
