My Dads Childhood Memories
A Memory of Davenham.
I grew up in Davenham and so did my dad, Terence Littlemore. He's now in his late eighties and loves telling us stories about when he was a small boy and how hard life was then...but very enjoyable. Before he went to school (in Davenham) he would deliver milk for Horace Foden on his milk cart which was pulled by a carthorse. After deliveries he would take the horse back and feed it, then go on to school, after school he would do the same, he did this for 7 days of the week. People would have 2 milk deliveries, morning and afternoon, because with no fridges milk would go sour fast. My brothers (Terry and Kevin) and myself all went to Davenham school. I remember Paul's Dad, Mr Dean. I was a good girl, but I remember the boys often got the cane, in those days, just for looking in the wrong direction....it was NEVER their fault! Mrs Cook was a teacher and she also taught my dad. I worked in the village after leaving school for 5 years in the Beauty Spot hairdressers. Dad still lives in Davenham. I don't think he could live anywhere else. I was also married at Davenham Church, it's a beautiful church.
