Growing Up In Aylesbury
A Memory of Aylesbury.
We moved there in 1949,from Yorkshire. My father was at Westcott mod, I went to Tring road infants, then to to the Grange when it opened in '54. I was made head prefect in my last year there in 1957/8. The headmaster was Percy Jones and headmistress was Miss Head, she was previously at Tring road when I was there..The deputy head was Mr Nelson a great guy, he moved to Wendover I believe John Colet school, in 58? We 1st lived on the old Molefield prefab estate between Wendover Way and King Edward Avenue. Anyone recall this estate?? Then moved to the newer part of Southcourt in 1956 when it was decided to pull down Molefield for new build. The family moved up to Crewe in 1958 when my dad changed jobs... In those days one made own entertainment, playing out in all weathers, maybe a cinema visit to the Granada or Odeon? Bike rides, tadpoling in Walton Pond etc...
