Thanks For The Memory

A Memory of Devizes.

It was wonderful to read about a place still dear to my heart. I lived in Devizes from about 3yrs old to almost 9yrs.
My older sister went to the Grammar School after St. Peter's, you may even have met her, Elizabeth Guy.
I went to St. Peter's and just before we moved my brother Anthony also attended.
We lived in part of a very large house at the end of Hillworth Road - Moorlands - and so were on the edge of town.
It was good to read all the details about the centre as sometimes I was too young to make sense of what I saw.
This has given me a greater understanding of the place and people. I have since moved a lot and whenever I get the chance to drop by I visit Devizes, as does my brother. I was born in 1947 so my memories include the year of the Coronation and events relating to that. The canal which ran behind the school I visited in my twenties and it was very run down. The next time I visited it had been restored. Thank you. Christine
