Living In Mangotsfield

A Memory of Mangotsfield.

Forgot to mention that in those days there was Jones Fish and Chips, opposite the school. My mum cleaned and peeled potatoes and I would press the potatoes into chips with a hand press over a grid thus making chips when you pulled down the handle. There was also a butcher( Mr Garfield) and the crown hotel, now gone. In the village was a garage, a cobbler and a police station of sorts. Life was so simple and we all new everybody. Alas, those days are gone. Mike Castle
