Ymca Agricultural Training Centre Ham Green Pill
A Memory of Pill.
In February 1949, my husband, Derek, travelled from London to start agricultural training at the YMCA Agricultural Training Centre at Ham Green, Pill, on a scheme known as 'British Boys for British Farms'. He arrived at Temple Meads Station, and caught a small train which in those days ran from Bristol to Portishead. Although born in London, he hated the idea of city life, so chose to study farming. One special memory of his time there is of seeing the Severn Bore. He subsequently obtained work at a farm in North Dorset. Derek would be interested to hear from any other ex-training centre boys.
