I have stood at the top of Magpie Hall Road looking over to the Hook & Hatchet in Walderslade.
That was ALL I saw in 1938 only the Hook & Hatchet + one or two houses next to it. All the fields
where we used to walk to & play, the exception, was a hill, filled with bungalows, only on the left
hand side. I visited one bungalow, bottom half made of concrete, top half, corrugated iron.
Walderslade was one of our playgrounds. Later to become, as we watched houses being built,
The Village of Walderslade
