I had a very happy childhood in the Barnwell area and remember most the freedom of playing in the streets and across the fields with all the other children. I can remember taking homemade buns and going off across the field to the iron bridge where we had a rope swing and we might stay all day. My mum used to say we always went home when we were hungry. My parents were quite strict and caring, yet they let us out to play. But the world has changed now.
