Before The Building

A Memory of Sandford Hill.

I well remember living on Sandford Hill very close to Whites farm,which is now taken up by the estate known as Saxonfields.Myself and friends regularly played football and cricket where the Old Sal pub is now built.
How well I remember the coal tricks travelling to the wharf at Foley laden with coal,and returning empty for refill.Whites horse drawn milk wagon trundled along the farm lanes and onto the small insurfaced roads to deliver.The two sisters carried out th his task daily,whilst their men worked the farm.How well I recall the silence and the lack of traffic.Bliss
