Lockerley, The Green c.1955

Photo ref: L367016

I lived in Holbury View and had Mr Oakley on my right with his little shop and his brother and his wife running a taxi business on my left. The Johnsons lived further down. My friend lived on the Green where his Dad had a petrol station and car repair business. My friend Martha Jane Everett lived opposite - the first girl I fell in love with! I loved my time in Lockerley and was sad to leave when my father was moved to Singapore. My name is John Scott and my email is lockerley@hotmail.com

My family are the Aylwards who use to own Holbury Mill as well as well as East Dean & one other. I'm doing my family tree now and if anyone has any info on these mills or the Aylward family or anyone who use to work for them I'd love to hear from you.

I was born in Lockerley and married at the Baptist Church in Lockerley where my parents Fred and Olive Moore were wed and my grandparents Tom and Maud Oakley were also married. We now live in Australia where we moved to in 1972 but still make frequent trips back to the old country and spend many happy hours back in the village of our memories.
