Clare Coles Of Coptfold Hall
A Memory of Coptfold Hall.
In circa 1964 to 1969 I was still at school in Romford ( Clark's College) and had the " hots" for Clare Coles who lived in part of the old house with her mother and father. I think he was the estate manager , he had a Ford Anglia estate car !.
Clare was blonde and tall and my idol but alas she did not have the "hots" for me!
I used to cycle over 15 mls to see her on a Saturday if only for a few hours then cycle back home dreaming of her.
I last saw her and Coptfold Hall in February 1969 while I was undergoing training at RAF Henlow in Bedfordshire to be a RAF officer she was training to be a nurse.
I remained in the RAF serving all over the world until 2004 when I retired having reached very senior rank ....but I still think of Clare Coles to this day and Coptfold Hall !
Happy memories
