Police House.
A Memory of Draycott.
I was born in the new police house in 1959 on Garfield Avenue.
My father was Constable Hind,the sergeant next door was called Dethick.
I have memories of the street and playing in it.My brother and father made a swing for me in the garden.
I remember going to Sunday School, having to face the back kneeling on our little chairs.
My father received many commendations, which I have.
There was a family called Butchkevitch,(spelling!),and a Mrs Tribensee,known as Mrs Trib.
She used to visit her native Germany and bring back large,ornately decorated gingerbread hearts.
She had a son,Karl ,whom I called Kaul.
We left when I was four.
