Many a good time spent in the “Burial” ground . So many fond memories of my childhood in the Wood .
My friend Susan and I spent a lot of time on the swings in the play -ground. 1963 +
I remember spending lots of time in the ‘burial ground’ when I was young in the 1960’s. I remember a really lovely park keeper who kept everything in good order. I remember Goldie the Eagle escaping from London zoo and landing in the grounds. D
This was always known as simply “the burial” there was a little hut where the park keeper stood and at tree that looked like a large teepee.
