Boxing Day In Lower Broadheath
I walked through your streets, for I am your child I passed the house where I used to live I wandered through the field where I used to play I went to your Church, I grew up here I visited a grave of someone dear You did not see me, you did not know or notice me Overwhelmed by sadness, I go on loving you, for I am your child and I love you still.

Church Lane
I was intrigued to read your memory as we lived at Roslyn from 1954 to 1964 and then moved to Frenchlands Lane where I have stayed, losing Jocelyn in 2004. Children Anne Jane Susan Ian Andrew and John all doing well. Village fete memories with our excellent Vicar and Brigadier Britten keeping order. Sadly Jerry and Edna Evans have gone and are much missed.I remember the Moores, Proberts, Stubbs, Halls, and Dobsons. Mansell Perkins the 'Midnight' milkman.

Growing Up In Lower Broadheath 1950s And 1960s
