My Time At Cholderton 1957 1960

A Memory of Cholderton.

I was very young around 5 I believe when I lived there. My Father (Jim) who was a motor engineer ran the Parkhouse Garage where my mother (Eileen) also ran a Cafe. There was a small garden pond in the front garden which my younger sister Rosalind fell in. I remember a young friend called Hugo that lived at The Red House near the garage. We kept a pony there. I walked to the school every day with my older sister Frances. I'm pleased that the school is still there although now a private house.There were two Lady Teachers and around 30-40 pupils. We did Country Dancing. I danced with Brenda Evans I also remember Anne England. We sat on rush mats outside. I have some photos somewhere that I can upload. I remember walking to school sometimes through some fields on a path from the garage. I visit the village sometimes and I noticed recently that the old cricket pavilion in the field opposite The Crown Inn (which my Father frequented) has been demolished!
