FM Conway - Going the Extra Mile

Going the Extra Mile

I was only six at the time, but this is one of my earliest memories. I remember going on that job, and watching excavators dig trenches and lay pipes. I would come home, and play with my toy diggers, and fill up dump trucks like many boys my age.

Myself, my older sister Annette, and my younger sister Margaret on the sofa (black and white) and in the garden at Croydon Road (colour). The other picture shows Dad making hay. He and his brothers were good with a scythe, but ‘Party’ (Patrick) was the best and quickest, even with a pipe stuck in his mouth.
