    Grammar School was at the top of this hill. I attended from 1956 - 62. Long gone like every school I attended growing up. Used to cycle this hill every day. One day, on the way down, skidded on the gravel at the T junction at the bottom of the hill. Knees took the full brunt! Painful memories of doctor picking grit out of the wounds with tweezers. Vestiges of the scars still visible more than 50 years later!

    Were you at Hollington Junior School Hugh? I was Elizabeth Grosvenor then. Roger Churchill and Christopher Jones were in the class too.

    I used to visit my Nan and Pop Dunk at 59 Millward Rd too, Nan owned both properties. (They were bombed out and moved opposite the park near Dingles Dell, then moved back when bombed out again.). Uncle Dick and Aunt Kath(nee Buss) lived upstairs. Aunt Margery lived at 61 as did Johnny, Jeremy, Susan, Valerie, Mick and Lesley. Great Aunt Dor lived upstairs with another I can’t remember. Uncle Leslie lived in Hollington with his wife Joan and children Pat and David.
    Auntie Betty and Uncle Stan lived in London with Jean.

    In the late 1950's I used to do an evening paper round after school for Clarkes the Newsagents in Milward Road. My paper round covered the length of Milward Road, Milward Crescent, Nelson Road, part of St Mary's Crescent, part of St Mary.s Road, part of Manor Road and little bit of Mount Pleasant Road. I did the round 6 evenings a week and collected money from some of the houses every Saturday. All this for the princely sum of 9 shillings a week (45p in today's money).I used to give my Mum 2 shillings a week for keep and I still felt well off.
