Newcomer Road

A Memory of Shenley.

That must have been just before we moved in to number 57 newcome I was actually born in the prefabs at the bottom of newcomer road . We did move next door to you & I do remember Mr & Mrs cote and I do remember you .My mother was called dorthy and dad was Ken he was an ambulance driver . My sister Jackie and I had a lot of fun in the street .it was a very safe place then . Every Saturday morning I was sent to the butchers to get a bone for our dog sooty & a pigs head for my grandmother & ox tail , I always went to the village pond to look at the swans and then stop of at the toy shop to buy a tractor with my pocket money .I loved shenley .

I lived in Shenley from the age of 10 to 15. They were my war years. I went to the boys school in Shenley and then to Hillside Senior School Borehamwood. They were very happy days, removed from the London bombing. My brother and cousin lived there too and we all had a lovely time. We often chat about old times, and the village people we loved. We went back a few years ago. It is not the same now, so many new housing estates, where there were big open fields.
