Hiya

I've asked this before but see now there are a few new people around so will ask again.

Does anyone remember the Gowers?

There were 7 of them. Irene(my mum), Doreen, Iris, Rita, Sandra, Gordon and Michael.

Thanks xx

I have a copy of the photo of 14 boys and Miss Linley at Marske camp and I am the boy sitting bottom row left hand side.My name is Melville Deakin and I was in FCH from 1949 to 1954 does anyone remember me?. I cant remember all the names but I do remember Ernest Horsfield as he and I went around together.

I remember the tree very well as I fell off it more than once. I also remember trying to climb the fence at the back of the homes with Tommy Botham but he got his arm impailed on a spike on top of the fence and the firemen had to get him off (Was nasty he still has the scars apparently)

Do you remember climbing up inside the outhouse where the dustbins were kept and hiding from Miss Linley?

--------------------

anyway, this is befor my time-- but the field in the middle of

the houses, at one time boys was encouraged to grow food,

that field was dug over for potatoes and greens.

Was you in homes at that time it happened.

 

The field became a lawn and we had sport games on it.
