Farm Trailers

I went to school at St Mary's down Horncastle Road and we would sit by the Maud Foster and wait for the trailers of peas to go by on their way to the canners by Bargate Bridge, then grab arms fulls of pea vines then sit and eat them at the side of the road - we always ate our veg!

Air Raids

These memories are as fresh in my mind as if they happened last week. Boston had its share of air raids, the first one was on a rainy Monday, it was July, the first day of our summer school holidays. It would be about 7.15 am when we heard a ...Read more

Happy Days 1950s And 60s
