More about this scene

Haddenham was one of the chief breeding areas for the Aylesbury duck; its network of streams and ponds was of immense value to this industry, even if the village was famously foul-smellling in a hot summer. This is one of the ponds, Banks Pond, on the main east-west road through the village; the scene is relatively unchanged, although out of view to the left is now a parade of 1960s shops.

In 1944 three brothers were evacuees in Haddenham, we lived with an old couple named Mr and Mrs Saw in a house, I think it was named Dolly Cote House next to a farm, this was a long time ago but one thing I know is that one of my boots is in Banks Pond as my brother put it in there, if Banks Pond has not been drained it has been in there for 67 years! One of the best two years of my childhood.
