War Years

A Memory of Barkingside.

I was born in Horns Rd in 1940 at start of the war and still have memories of that time when 5 and 6 down the shelter when siren went they were after Plessey works and the airdrome have some pics from this time. it was a great place to grow up bar when a V1 fell on Dr Banardos and blew all our front windows out.but being very young you did not understand the full danger at the time.At 21 i was married at Mossford Green church and move away when we started to buy our own house.Being a swimmer hours spent in Valentines pool and have great memories of the school at Perymans Farm Rd and Dane Secondary School.I could ramble on about life then seems so different to today, Geoff
