| Subject: Your website Date: Mon, 19 Feb 2001 14:04:08 -0000 From: "Watts, Sally" sally.watts@noc.anglox.nhs.uk To: paul@mattoid.com Great to read about Harborough - I was born there in 1955 at 13 Dingley Terrace - in my grandparents' prefab which has long since been flattened. I remember fishing for minnows and sticklebacks in the Dandy down by the side of the road to the railway station. My mum used to go to the Grammar School - her name was Anne Thornton - she left after her fourth year, which would have been in 1952 or 1953 I think. She told me about once taking part in the Carnival when she and some other friends from the shoe factory (I don't know the name (Symingtons: ed)) were dressed up as Hawaiian girls and had used gravy browning to darken their skin - unfortunately it rained!! I remember standing on the railway bridge at the park on the road to Great Bowden to wait for the steam trains to go underneath - it was great!! My cousin (Lorraine Calleja) and I used to go riding at Miss Ogilvy's stables in Great Bowden - we were pony mad. Sally |
