Born in Watford, 1942

I was born in Watford at the nursing home in King Street and went with mum to live with my grand parents in Kensington Avenue, while Dad did his bit in the army during WW11. Neighbours were the Portas family , the Lovats, the Westons, Holdoms, Church, Goodlands, and I could go on. School was Chater in Harwoods Rd. with miss Green as teacher and the formidable miss Wallace as headmistress. Up in the juniors there was Mrs. Hill, Mr. Coleman, Mr. Cunningham, Mr. Watson and Mr. Cooper. Headmaster was Mr. Keeble. In1947, we moved into the flat above the builders merchants in Watford High street, Cakebread Robey, as Dad had got himself the delivery drivers job
