College Days

A Memory of Saffron Walden.

I was at the college for 2 years, maiden name Stone. I have wonderful memories of my time there. School practice in the school next door and outlying village schools.The people in the town were so friendly and we took part in a lot of local events. I attended the Methodist Church with a few of the students and the people there were very hospitable. Being very far from my home in Cornwall it was so good to have the support of the town people. I remember especially the wealth of music at that time at the Parish church and the Town Hall. I have returned twice to visit the College, now used as a language centre.

I played and sung folk music at the college quite often and it was one of those times I met my wife around about 1969.
I courted my wife all the time she was there and moved to the midlands with her when she left. We have now been married 42 years. I always remember being depressed when the college closed for holidays. Most of our time outs at nights was at the plaza or the Duke of York pub where we used to have a sing song, then take my wife back to college then walk all the way home to Ashdon Rd. ( opposite the Axe and Compass ).
