A Touch of Nostalgia

I can remember going to school at Molesey County Secondary Boys School, I can remember a few of the names of the kids in my class. I also remember the Pond Stores in Beachamp Road where you could buy 2 Park Drives cigarettes in a pack and nip behind the cycle racks in Ray Road. Although I resided in East Molesey I was of that breed what they did in West Molesey we could do better. I remember a David Fairminer, he must be a relative of Trevor. I can remember also a chap called Roger luff whose dad was the local baker with his own shop near the corner of Kent Road next to Collisons the opticians. Myself, I entered the R N and served in subs and surface ships and saw a bit of the world and managed to crawl up the hawse pipe and achieve commissioned rank. So there was life outside Molesey after all. Colin A
