My Short Life In Gillingham Kent
A Memory of Gillingham.
I was born in a naval nursing home called "Canada House" on the 18th November 1954. I was the first child and boy - I was spoilt. I went to school at Byron Road Infants school until I was 6 then we moved to Swalecliffe in Kent. I was 5 years old and both my mother and grandmother took me to play and have a picnic on the "Darland Banks". We walked from the "Jezerals" along the top road, and up to the "banks". I was very excited I seem to remember.
We belonged to Green Street Tabernacle Baptist Church, we attended Church regularly. I remember being a bridesmaid to my mother's friend Doreen. My paternal grandma lived in Richmond Road along with my aunt, and I spent lots of happy times there. My aunt taking me to the Strand to swim and to the pictures to see Bambi. In 1959 my Sister was born in Canada House, and one year later another sister arrived. In 1963 we moved to Swalecliffe in Kent.
