Jersey Marine As I Knew It

A Memory of Jersey Marine.

I was born and bred at No 8 St Margaret's Avenue, in the box room. I, Alan Huxtable, had a wonderful time as a child, as Rebbeca, has said, who is my niece (my sister's girl). We got up to a lot of mistchief. I loved to go fishing a lot. With Raymond Bird, my good mate, we went and did everything together, bad and good. But I was always home by 10pm at night to make Dad (my grandfather) a cup of tea before he went to bed. And good old Gordon Jenkins the baker's mate, which I worked for as a van boy, that was good and earned me a bit of pocket money. And I whould like to mention my mum and dad, Pat and Heyden Huxtable, they were a good mum and dad but thay are gone now sadly. But Jersey Marine is a good place to be and live.

I also lived and was brought up in Jersey Marine. I Eric Holder lived at 26, St Margaret's Avenue with my mum and dad in the 1960, as Alan as mentioned use to go fishing a lot as canal was on doorstep. My best mates were Preston Ibbotson, Geoffrey Dodd, Desmon Amos, and Paul Huxtable but since leaving the village have lost touch. it would be nice to get in contact again for a catch up.
