Sretton was wonderful place to grow up in during the 50's and 60's. My parents, Winn and Mont Dowson arrived in the village in 1948 when Dad got a job at Coventry Tech, and they bought the row of 3 cottages at the bottom of Ann's Lane. We lived in the end nearest the road, Mrs Timms was in the middle and the Parnells at the other end. Mr Parnell was a very keen vegetable ...see more

My wife spent many happy summers in Deal and Walmer with cousins/aunties/uncles/gran/gran-dad when on holiday from Swindon. She never stops talking about the Glen and mimicking her Welsh gran-dad saying he was going for a walk down Dover Road (you have to do the Dover Road bit in a Welsh accent). never fails to make me smile. I was born at the other end of Kent (Erith) and on the few visits we have made to visit ...see more

I have always felt very proud to have been born at this hospital in 1955. My mother told me that on the day of my birth a WW11 bomb was being excavated and consequently I was moved to Kingston Hospital. Nonetheless I always get a buzz from telling people I was born in Hampton Court.
We moved to Hockham when I was 4 in 1964. My Father Douglas Oliver was the landlord of the Red Lion up until it closed in 1971 leaving just the Eagle to play darts and socialise in. Dad bought the Red Lion and converted it as a family home. Great memories of growing up in the village and being in doctrinated to local village life. I joined the Army in 1975 and it was then that Mum and Dad moved th Watton where dad remains. Anyone out there remember the era to start the memories rolling.

We moved to Easthampstead in 1962 and moved away in 1968. Bracknell town did have the Crossways but I do remember the rest of the town which was still beautiful and old.

Looking at the Post Office building reminded me that the entrance was a popular place to meet your date for the evening.

I was born in Barrow in 1954, later living in Dalton and Ulverston up to 1970. Many happy memories of a trip to the Ritz Cinema, but the one that stood out was Mutiny On The Bounty made in 1962 starring Marlon Brando & Trevor Howard. Probably my first visit. Also Abbey Road always appeared a grand entrance to the town a wide road and trees either side.
