Micheal Brown of Westview in the 1950's

Micheal Brown a young boy in the early 1950's living in Westview (no:80) revisited his old home in the late 1990's and reflected...

  • Horsedrawn milkcart and sledge in winter. Browns had an old army sledge and Micheal would help the Bache shop milkman deliver to the Park.
  • Putting out fire ash to fill the potholes in the road.
  • Cattle in the field (now council playing field); the pond and a big deep hole in vacinity of where putting green is now. At least 20foot deep and good for winter sledging.
  • the 'elite' park ended at the covenanted boundary. It wasn't done to mix with those 'in the lane'.
  • 'Garden House' still had the large orchard. An old lady lived there - very strict and old fashioned with a maid wearing a blue chequered skirt.
  • Mill orchard still existed
