Home Farm Bearwood

A Memory of Wokingham.

It was the year President Kennedy was assassinated. My two sisters and I lived with my Grandparents, Bob and Katie Myram at Home Farm, Bearwood. My mum was ill in the U.S. and we stayed for the year with my grandparents. We attended Bearwood County Primary School and Mr. Sparrow was my beloved teacher! I have such happy, wonderful memories of that year, the Beatles, my friend, Marian Allen and a wonderful toy shop that I cant remember the name. My fondest memories are of that year. If anyone has anything to add to this, please do!!!! I'd love to hear from you!!!!

Hello, we lived in Home Farm Cottages until my dad died, in 1974. I can recall, vaguely, Mrs Sumpter (I think with a pug dog?) and Mr and Mrs Rawlins. I can also remember Mr Sparrow at Bearwood Primary School. All seems a very, very long time ago now...
