My Home Town
A Memory of Potters Bar.
I lived in potters bar all my life, until marrying in 1973 and moving to ware. My grandparents had lived here since the twentys, my dad joined the RAF in 1942, to serve his country during the Second World War. I remember well the Ritz in darkes lane, went there five days in a row to watch the great race, I was only eleven years old! Wylotts manner, thurleys toy shop mount grace school, all fond memory's! All so long ago now, but as I grow older, your early memories become so much more. Remember these characters from those days:- Jeneate brown, Paula surfield, Keith Nash, John Taylor, Steve scofield, and many more. We lived in a council house in Forbes avenue my grandad on mums side was a councilman, he helped us onto the ladder, as our prefab at lakeside potters bar was due for demolition I grew up in that house until we all moved to elmroyd avenue in 1970. Remember Jan, and trev from those days, my first serious squeeze, Lynn Pusey! Dad died in 1977, so that ended our association with potters bar, as mum moved to Hemel Hempstead. My life in potters bar was the best time of my life on this earth, I often reflect back on those days, ahh!!
