Oxmoor Estate : A memory of Huntingdon

Oxmoor Estate

A Memory of Huntingdon.

In 1961 my parents and I were one of the first families to move to the Oxmoor Estate from London. I attended the new building of St Peter's School on St Peter's Hill. At that time Huntingdon was a small town compared to what it is now. My parents were Joe & Rose Heywood and we lived at 13 Elm Close, the very first block of houses to be built.

Hello Huntingdonians. Have read with interest the quite sad tales of us 1940/ 1950 residents who seem to have drifted away. Me, born 1942 in one of the old Huntingdon east railway cottages, From their to St John Street, our very sad house is now a roadside flower pot and from their to the luxuries of 35 priory road. Newspaper boy at Winfields, butchers boy at Wolffs, Greengrocers boy at Fred Crows in the high street etc etc. Left town aged 16 to join the Royal Navy, but always a Huntingdonian at heart.
