I too grew up in Little Kingshill. Mrs Buswell was head at the primary and my favourite teacher was Mrs Dean. We used to play on the common opposite Ash Well Farm.

My memory of Little Kingshill: I went to live with my aunty and uncle Mr and Mrs Kitchener in Ashwell Farm Cottage. My uncle worked up on Ashwell Farm. I used to sit out in my pram eating a bowl of veg. I went to Little Kingshill Schol, I loved it. Also I remember Daphne Heather in Heather's store. I remember Mrs Busswell, head of the school, also giving myself the best black eye ever by walking into a door at school. I would love to hear from anyone with more memories. EILEEN NEWTON
