Sparked a Memory for you?
If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?
I lived in Kempsey from1949-1953, at Bank House, otherwise known as The Kempsey Cafe and Filling Station. I went to the council school and attended St Mary's Church along with my sister Marian. I remember vividly the floods from the ford that regularly cut off this little road, and the Michaelmas daisies that grew in the garden of the second cottage. I also went to school with Teresa. Just great memories!!! Hello to anyone that may also remember those days Sylvia Cutler-Anderson
