South Africa Lodge Late 50/63

A Memory of Waterlooville.

I lived at South Africa Lodge with my brother Gerald and left in 1963 to join the Navy. Always remember playing cricket in the evening with Mr Liddle and all the other children whether we liked cricket or not, but we did have fun. Didn't like having to walk to Complain School everyday though.
