199 Havant Road The Cottage
A Memory of Drayton.
When I saw John Cowan’s posting, my eyebrows shot upward, since it so happens that 199 Havant Road was also my first home. I was born on 7 January 1935 and we lived at The Cottage (most houses had names in those days) until my father was posted elsewhere early in wartime-1941. Because I have lived in Canada for the past 55 years, married to a Canadian, my visits to Drayton have not been as frequent as I would have liked. But a few years ago a friend drove me past the much-changed house, now a seniors’ residence, and dryly commented that “you should come back and live here, so that you can finish your days where you began”. We laughed and speculated whether I would be able to get my old room.
