Sparked a Memory for you?

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

I was perhaps the last person born at the Rectory - 1st July 1955. Such happy memories of a childhood growing up in such a wonderful place. Lots of children my own age, ponies, endless adventures within a protected and safe estate. Leaving for Wiltshire at 16 was the first hard thing I had done!
