Pat Alexander lived in The Square and he was the road sweeper. I think that his patch was just Great and Little Thurlow, so the verges were well maintained.

Grace Page lived at 120 The Street, and she helped Miss Dowsett run the Great Thurlow village shop and played the organ at Great Thurlow Church. Tony Smith played at Little Thurlow. Grace later became the postlady, and was to be seen delivering mail on a very old, upright bicycle.

Mr. Hale ran a village shop at Corner Cottage, Little Thurlow, but this closed soon after my arrival.

There was no main sewerage in the village so a lot of the houses had no "facilities". Baths and lavatories were added to the houses shortly after.

Mr. and Mrs. Sargent lived at Brook Cottage. He did nearly all the building work on the Thurlow Estate.

Major and Mrs. K. Horn lived at Mill Cottage. He had been one of the original pilots in the R.A.F. and prewar was a racing motorist at Brooklands.

Another of my memories was to see Billy Crooks and Pauline Edge walk every evening up the village street closely entwined!

Up to the time we arrived at Lavender Cottage, the garages had been used as the Doctor's surgery.
