When I was about 8or9 years old we lived on Alma Crescent in Vauxhall. We was lucky because we lived in the house faceing the street all the others were up the yard at the back. I remember there used to be a man up the street who kept pigs and we used to save all the potatoe peelings and cabbage leaves to take up to him and he would give me a small bag of candy which was a real treat. When I was 11 years old we moved to a brand new house in Kingstanding, this was in 1938, the war had started and at night everything was dark. All the kids used to play at night under the lamp post even though it wasn't lit. Boy!! we used to have some good times there in the dark., we used to play Kick the can to, Dureing the summer when the fruit was on the trees we used to go Scrumpin !!!. There used to be a small farm down by the Parson & Clark Pub that had apple trees in the back and we would climb over the fence and load up on apples. But when I was 14 the fun came to an end and I had to go to work and earn my keep.
Happy Days. Wally.
