Wombourne, The Canal And Bridge c.1965

Photo ref: W323004

The first day of starting Ounsdale was terrifying, we had moved to the area the day before, no friends, new house, new area, new school but wished I could turn back time. My name was the brunt of jokes especially for one student in my class and a neighbour and sadly no longer with us. I have still have the 1971 photo remember sitting there while the photographer took so long to take the photograph, remember some of the teachers but headmaster Hoppo was scary!

I would dearly like to contact a good friend that I had at Ounsdale called Kevin Simcox (Oxo). If anyone has any idea where I can contact him please leave a message. He lived in Dickinson Road and had a sister whose name I can not remember.

Our first visit to Wombourne was an invitation from the Cashione family, Billy Buns Lane - we all met in France on holiday. Phylis had 3 daughters and was a widow; she was a lovely lady and have since lost all contact! 2 years ago I passed through Bratch lock on a canal boat with friends and decided to ring but no answer; the twin daughters and Debbie must all be married now but would love to be in touch - any ideas?
