Grandparents Home Village
A Memory of Hemingford Abbots.
I have many memories of this place. My grandparents lived in the trailer park you speak of in Hemingford abbots . Their surname is Radford. My grandfather actually made their home on the trailer park I believe and continued to live there after moving up from London after the second world war. His name was Albert Radford and my grandmother Dora Radford . Both have passed away and are laid to rest in the parish graveyard, however the tree in the center of the image now has a tourist map of the local area underneath it which is dedicated to my grandmother as she was a well known member of both the church parish and the WI (women's institute) . Having spent many childhood memories with my grandparents in the village I too moved up from London some 15 years ago now (also a Radford) and now live in the neighboring STIVES town with my own family . My parents now live in my grandfathers old home which sits on the river in the trailer park. They still have their house in London which my sister lives in now.
The village hasn't changed so much over the years. The pub is still there, some new houses have popped up (very very expensive - over a million pounds) and the tree in your image is now enormous . I will take a picture when I next walk my dog and send it to you if you would like to get in touch.
