Hello Crawford,
My name is Robert ( Bob ) Arrowsmith, do I remember you from Ludford Street School. Although I lived in Smith Grove off Frank Webb Avenue, I certainly remember the Huts and went into the railway works through that entrance for many years, and parked there when the houses were cleared.

In the 1900s the site of the 'Fountain' (Frith H397067) was then known as 'The Burroughs Pond' and was/is sited at the crossroads of The Burroughs, Station Road and Watford Way, back then it was open ended at ground level so that horses could stop there for a drink; if they were towing a cart then that could be driven through too.
In the 1920s when the Watford Way was built up and improved for motor traffic ...see more
I can remember the square not only for its shops but also as a meeting place .

I remember the Caprice very well. I went there regularly in my early teens. As "rockers" we used to leave from the Caprice to go to Mickleham by pass where the boys would speed along the by pass. A group of us would go to the Odeon next door to see films but mostly the motorbikes were the mainstay ofthe group. Happy days, alhough parents must have panicked at the speeds the boys did on their bikes. Lots of lovely memories. Sandra

I have no memories of my own but understand that the name Skendleby Psalter is connected with a small very old Church, long gone, which was on the site of Wold Cottage, and that the garden and adjacent land down to the bottom lane was the Graveyard. This obviously pre-dates the 1800 maps and may go back tp the 1600s. This would seem likely because a Psalter is a book of Psalms and/or other Christian Theology. ...see more
