Mr and Mrs Carden-Horton first on the left, My parents -
Mabs Fisher and Eric Fisher, Mr and Mrs Wittern, I am afraid

Road) but the names escape me

My
friend Lindsay on the left
and myself aged 10.
I
think this was taken in the Botanical gardens. |
Living so close to the Botanical gardens
(just across the road from our quarters)
meant we often had visits from
hungry monkeys who used to noisily
bang the bin lids to get our attention.
These photos were taken round the
back of our quarter in Dempsey Road.

My best friend Jane Carden-Horton, she also
lived next door. We used to spend all our money at the Amahs
market on Monkees records and practice dancing to them.
Wish I could make contact with her again. |
