Gran and Grandad Harman

My gran and grandad, Elsie and Jim Harman, lived at 4 The High Street.  My earliest memories are of, strangely, the moss-covered footpath that encircled the cottage on three sides, it was how pathways in old cottages should be!  I also have fond memories of hot summer lunchtimes playing outside The Plough while the adult members of the family partook of a beverage or ....?  My father attended the school for a few years and my grandfather worked for Shearings until his retirement.

My Home

I lived in Rose Cottage from mid 1965 to July 1966 when we were posted to Germany. At the time it was divided into two cottages. Myself, my husband and my 6mths old son lived in no2 which was the cottage on the left side looking front on. My husband was in the army. We had a choice of Rose Cottage or Apple Tree Cottage in King Lane. My next door neighbour was Margaret also an Army wife. We spent a fair bit of time on our own whilst are husbands were on exercises, so we became involved with the church fete and we spent hours making fudge to sell on the stalls. We had a great time.
