So did I Dave, born and brought up between Rye and Hastings. Lived there
until I finally left home, after college, at the age of 20.
Whereabouts were
you?

I can remember the snow of 1947 and again bad snow in 1958 or (1959?).
Probably before you time though.

In 1947 we were living in North wales and I remember walking along the
beach breaking the Ice.
Re Hastings, we lived on a lane that lead from the Ridge to Westfield
called Stonestile Lane.
I used to cycle to go fishing in Breed River.
Where about were you Jennifer?

Oddly enough Brede!

Often took the dogs for a walk along bank of Brede River
either by walking down Brede Hill to the bridge or down the farm
and onto the 'marsh'. For years Dad rented the oast house on the
corner the A28 and the lane to Doleham Halt (rhs just before the
final downhill bit to the bridge - coming from Westfield that is.)

I went to school at Baldslow so know the Ridge and Stonestile Lane.

Small world ...

Jennifer

Would that have been "St Margarets"?

"St Mary's" (C of E Convent School) yes - almost opposite
Hydneye House School - boys school.

Googling to check the spelling of Hydneye I found this:-

*... *almost back on topic the pic of the school is in the snow!

BTW St Mary's is now converted into flats.

That takes me back over 50 years, we moved there August 2nd 1951, and
we actualy had a telephone then which wasn't a party line. our phone
number was Baldslow 138

Memories, but not in your area. I was in Cherry Willingham near Lincoln.
We were not so fortunate in that we had a party line - Reepham 424. This
was in the mid 60s!

Oh my! What memories indeed
