1944?
A Memory of Newton Poppleford.
I grew up in Glasgow and my dad Hughie Crawford often talked fondly about Newton Poppleford and Colaton Raleigh. He was in the Royal Marines during the war and was stationed at Lympstone and then Torquay. I know he visited Newton Pop along with a mate Charlie Pinkham (from Tiverton). Although I don’t know any names, I remember him often talking about a house called Ova Yonda. There will not many folks left from those days but it would be interesting to know if anyone remembers a Hughie Crawford from around 1943/44.
