Lower Swell In The 1930s

A Memory of Lower Swell.

My Dad and his family lived in Lower Swell between about 1928 and 1940. They must have been quite unusual in those days - arriving in the village from London. My grandmother married a Canadian soldier after the First World War and went to live in Canada where she had 4 children. But it didn't work out and she brought them home, first to London and soon afterwards to Lower Swell. Their name was Allen - the children were Yvonne, William (known as Rigby) Wilfrid and Norman. My Dad liked to remember his childhood spent in Lower Swell and often talked about the people there - Hathaway, Taylor, Temple, Illes, King, Clarke and Harris. I wonder if anyone still remembers them? Or the Allens?
