Ice Skating On The Port

I remember that winter well -I lived in Albert Road and it took me nearly an hour to walk to The Bourne to visit my Grandparents , via the Polly Basin- My Grandfather was Bill King who was the local Postman working from the local Post Office in Brimscombe run by Mrs Perkins. He worked with fellow Postman Mr Hollaway from Victoria Road. Somehow they managed to get the post delivered and the post boxes emptied during this time. I was Kathy Buckingham before I married.
