Growing Up In New Haw 1970s And 1980s

A Memory of New Haw.

I was adopted in 1970 and was moved from east London to New Haw. I was brought up in Grange Rd, family name Alexander. I never had much of a home life but it didn't matter because the time was spent fishing on the Bourne and Wey, going to the Carlton for sweets and generally roaming the fields of Grange and Manor Farms. We weren't meant to but I was friends with one of the farmer's kids. I remember the record shop as Round Sound where I bought my first record. A great place to spend a childhood. The surnames I remember are Alderman, Court, Lewis and Taylor. I went to Grange School, New Haw Middle and Fullbrook.
