Sutton At Hone

A Memory of Sutton at Hone.

My sister attended Sutton at Hone school, catching the bus from Hawley or walking through the fields with friends. Such a quiet village . I used to cycle from Hawley to the paper shop and collect my papers to do 'my round' in Shirehall Road, Hawley. The ford I remember very well, cycling through with feet up in the air, heaven help us if the bike stopped half way and we got home with wet socks. So much freedom for young people in the 50's and early 60's. The village now is the same but different if you understand me, many of the old shops have gone but in their place are new ones and it is certainly a busy place.
