|I would like to post this message to all who replied to my question on Wotton back in the early 1950's.

The help i received from the Wotton Heritage Center was great ,I was put in touch with two gents and they have helped Know end.

I have learned that that was a family of Slade's living at the bottom of the playing field called Kenneth,Margaret and a son named Kenneth and i think that is the lad i used to play and pick blackberries with,plus make a bit of cash by selling them to be made into jam.

I have also worked out that the photo was taken in front of the house's called White City where a Mr Frank Gibbs lived and could have been a driver working with Kenneth Slade down at the Costwolds Yard.

this Google Earth is good .

The sad part of this story is the lad i used to play with was killed or died by being run over outside the school back in 1952

So once again thanks a lot and if anyone can add anything to this for me it will be much apprecated.

I will still be using the web site because it is very good to lighten up and have a look to see whats going on

Regards to all Flash

|Slade's around the 1950's. Still researching a woman Slade that lived in the White City (Cotswold Gardens) but moved away. Slade's at the bottom of Synwell lane,in the house called Madam Moore's well. Believed he had two sons, one was killed outside the Bluecoat School.
