My friend's name was Aileen Rodgers - lost track donkeys years ago - anyone know of her atall? Saint Anne's and Saint Oswald's school
I lived at High Riley Farm for a short while around 1954. Knocked around with the children at High Riley Cottages. Aileen Rogers at one end of the row and Harry and Thomas Jackson at the other end. I wonder where they all are.
Harry, Thomas and I used to walk down the track and on to Plantation Street to get to our school...St Paul's. We used to get some serious snow up there then.
