Summer Holidays

A Memory of Yeovil.

My grandparents lived in Addlewell Lane, Yeovil. It backed onto the railway track and I used to wave to the engine drivers. We went for the school holidays every year until about 1961. At the end of Addlewell Lane was the tanning factory and the smell was quite awful, I used to like to get past as soon as possible. I used to like to go to Wyndam Hill to fly a kite and to Yeovil Junction to see the steam engines and turntables. I remember fondly going to Nine Springs on family walks, to Ham Hill and to see Jack the Treacle Eater. Those summer holidays always seemed to be sunny!!
