The Good Life

A Memory of Sunninghill.

I was born in 1926 at no 2 The Terrace. My dad was Taity Ponsford and I had 5 brothers and 2 sisters my sister Ida and Cis, who was killed in a motor cycle accident in 1933, at the time she was with Bill Murrant a local golf pro. My gran also lived on The Terrace, her husband was Shovel Stevens which I don't understand as my mother's maiden name was Platt. I moved away when I was 5 as Mum ran off with the lodger, Ted Craker, and I lived for many years as Ron Craker in Sandhust, Crowthorn, and Winkfield. I joined the Royal Navy in 1943 and saw the rest of the Second World War out. I finished my school days at Winkfield St Mary's where I made many great friends and would love to hear from any of them.
