Weymouth - Chapelhay And The Corner of Buxton Road Bombsites
I was only small when we moved to Longfield Road but old enough to remember walking through the bombsites and noticing wallflowers, buddliea and butterflies among the heaps of rubble and being concerned when coming across a fireplace or something that looked like a part of someone`s house.

RE: RE: Weymouth - Chapelhay And The Corner of Buxton Road Bombsites
My first school was at Longfield Road. The vicarage was about half way down on the left hand side. I loved that school, it was very small, I believe it was a private house at one time. We had coal fires in the classrooms, very cosy. I remember the garden we played in, there were pansies and sweet williams I remember, they are still my favourite flower. I lived in Weymouth until I married in 1971, my parents lived ther until they died. We often return to visit family and friends.
