King George V Park

A Memory of Farnborough.

When I left Farnborough in 1957, there was no ornamental pond, just woodland where us kids spent many happy hours playing. There was a small pond at the lower end of the field called Halls pond ( if I'm not mistaken) which has long gone.
The area on which the school now stands was just rough land but a great place to play.We would cut across & get into the park via a bent railing, which I noticed just a few years ago was still there!
I remember having a birthday party there, a large table cloth spread out on the grass, an 'Angel cake', which has always been my favourite, and loads of children. It always seemed to be Summer! I loved it.
