I was born in Gaydon in 1951, and went to the infants school which was the village hall, the building on the left. I don’t recognise anyone in the photos.I don’t remember the village hall being a Library The building next to the church, in front of the lorry was the post office and haberdashery. My Gran was the last person to be buried in the Churchyard.
I lived, very happily, in Gaydon up until 1977, when I was 7.
I used to play with a boy called Jonathan whose parents owned the thatched house on the left – I remember a train track that ran all around the front (left) room which was a playroom.
I went to school in the building a few doors down (on the left) and my Granny ran the Post Office just next to the church.
I have such incredible, happy memories of growing up in the village. We had such freedom…..
