The Changes In Lifestyles

A Memory of Long Sutton.

I was in school in Long Sutton and worked part time for Phillip Stow the butcher. I had to go round customers' houses in the morning and take orders for their meat requirements.  I then went to school. After school I had to deliver the orders on a trade bicycle with a basket on the front.

The local supermarket was I believe Fine Fare.  I always remember a little three-wheeler coming and parking outside there and a similar model appeared on 'Hearbeat' in the first series.

My father John worked for Parson Bros and Snape coal merchants, and my mother was welfare officer for Lockwoods Foods.

The headmaster of the Peele school at this time was Mr Noone.

The one memory that I always remember is the bombing on The Wash which seemed to go on endlessly.

I also remember the 'bombing' on the Wash, and yes Mr Noon was headmaster at The Peele school, a very lovely headmaster as far as I was concerned. Always grateful to him for teaching us to do Ballroom dancing, with Brenda Bunting as his partner as she was tall and beautiful.
