Scout Camp Near Turners Hill

A Memory of Turners Hill.

My memory of Turners Hill goes back 60 years, to 1955, when our scout troop camped across the road from Worth Priory. We were the 53rd Croydon (St Gertrude's) Troop. I recall we were given the run of the woods in the priory grounds for wide games. But on one occasion the troop set out on a hike to the village of Turners Hill. My memory recalls a sleepy little Sussex village with hardly a soul about on a warm sunny afternoon. We all gazed wistfully into the window of the village sweet shop before the hike back. I've now lived in New Zealand for over 50 years, but when thoughts return to my childhood in England, the rural charm of little villages like Turners Hill inevitably come to mind.
