A Memory of Newbury.

My Father, John (Jack) Lovelock lived in Weaver's Cottages, he learnt to swim in the K & A Canal alongside. We used to walk past the large detached house towards the end of the towpath you can see and there were always budgies in a cage/aviary there in the 1960's.

I lived in newbury all my life from 1960 until 1983. I remember a Mr and Mrs Lovelock who lived in Digby Road Newbury. I wonder if they were relatives of yours?

Hi. We lived in Brummell Road, alongside the grocer's shop, which was Webb's back then, an offshoot of the one in the Broadway, where Mum and Dad worked in the early 1960's. I didn't know there were Lovelocks in Digby Road?
