Evacuee

A Memory of Quedgeley.

I was evacuated from Birmingham in 1939 aged 12yrs and was known as Dorothy Davis. I stayed at the Villa Cottage, Bristol Road and went to the local school. My happiest memory of Quedgeley is being confirmed at church and at Easter time we used to collect the moss for the church. Also going to see the Severn Bore with the people I stayed with Mrs Veal and her 2 daughters Betty and Joan. I also made a good friend there Dorothy Williams and would like to know if she is still around.

I wonder if at that time you knew of a smallholding called Sandy Ridge? My father, Jim Brown, lived there and drove for the RAF during WW2. I remember seeing the Severn Bore too.
