Sparked a Memory for you?

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

My family home was on the left hand side of Church Street ...If you look carefully you can see my dad's Morris Minor van parked outside. Happy Days!
I have fond memories of the Johnson family.I went to school with Monica and Damaris. We used to practice handbell ringing in their enormous kitchen.Well it seemed it then. On Acension day we used to go to the top of the church tower to say prayers.
After my parents sold Tubbs House in Castle Street we rented this house, you used to have to walk through all the bedrooms to get to the one you were sleeping in. What a pity all these were pulled down when they built the by pass later on.
I still have my post office savings book stamped Mere Warminster Wilts. I deposited 5/-. The telephonist use to sit almost in the doorway with a little switchboard our number was Mere 282. I think it was the shop with the blind next to the arch.
