Reader Comments for South Bush Lane
I need to clear up a disagreement with someone. During the late 1960's and early 1970's my Mum used to work on farms down South Bush Lane.
The first smallholding on the left-hand side going down was occupied by Mr Bob (Robert) Friar and the last smallholding at the end of the lane on the right-hand side was occupied by his brother John Friar, my Mum used to work on both farm picking fruit and vegetables
.At John Friar's there used to be a big weeping willow tree where my mum and Co-workers used to sit and have their lunch when it was hot. There was also a cherry farm down there, cannot remember who it was owned by, also my classmate Ross Elliott used to live down there and I used to go and play with his sister Nancy. Can somebody please verify if I am right because I am being told by someone that there were never any farms down the lane.
I remember at Bob's farm that there used to be a very big hole that was filled with tyres and I was told to keep away from it. I feel that Bob's smallholding is no longer there, has it been pulled down. I don't think I am going mad, I have a very good memory of my childhood and I used to cycle down there with my mum Margaret Holliday. I'd be grateful for someone to help me on this.
