A Memory of Retford.

Hello Old Fogies! [you must be an old fogie like me if you remember Retford at that time..Hehe.]
I first came to Retford at the age of about 7 months. My mom and dad got a letter from Birmingham saying not to come back as the bombing had started. We eventually ended up living at 57 Stawberry Road until Mar 31 1954, ending up back in B/Ham on April Fool's Day 1954.
Our granddad lived at 55 Caledonian Road, he was an engine driver for L.N.E.R. I went to Sir Fred's and later Worksop Tech. Our father worked at a munitions factory and aircraft factories during WW2, he was an Air Raid Warden as well. Later he was a foreman for Richmond Builders. I remember 2 or 3 Jackson families, Corringhams, Bunyans, Oglies, Mitchells, Rogers, The Burnages who were Christian Indians. I have too many memories to mention here but I would love to make contact with anyone who remembers Sir Fred's or travelling on the train to Worksop College, or indeed any memories of the period early 1940s to mid 1950s.
Best wishes to all,
Bob Williams
