Camberley I Knew 1945ish.
A Memory of Camberley.
As a young child I moved to Camberley in the early stages of the war when my dad was called up and posted to the RAE in Farnbrough. We lived in Woodlands Road which was very different to the way it is today. Some of the houses had very large gardens that are now small estates.
Across the road was a house full of friendly military police and outside the end of our garden was an unused stable.
All of the kids played in the road or in each other’s gardens. My best pal was Bob Chappel (not sure of spelling) and I remember the Jacklins and a lad known as Bumsore as he was always in trouble.
We went to the school opposite the cinema and one winter we built an igloo in the playground. The only teachers name I remember is Mr Allen the headmaster of the junior school.
Our biggest and best playground was the grounds of Sandhurst College where we played all day without any problems.
I have many more memories of Camberley during the war and just after and I will write again soon.
I would love to hear from anyone who may remember me from that time.
