I was moved to Southways as an almost newborn in 1941. My granddad was employed as a groundsman on the airfield. I well
remember the Madgwicks! They were nice people. I will say that
they seemed to have innumerable children! The Madgwicks were
at No. 11, the Bartrams (Mr. Bartram used to frighten me to death -
I think he had been a stoker in the navy. He used to pull faces to
deliberately frighten me) were at no. 12. We were at No. 13 -
the Browns. Do you remember the air-raid shelters in the road?
I can remember being carried down there as a baby!
