Lancing Village Memories

Graham.Franklin My Time on North Rd I lived in North Rd, number 55, which was a grocery and pet food shop. ( I think it sells fish and chips now!) School Days We moved there in 1961, I was 5 and went to South Lancing School, almost opposite our shop. Then went on to Irene Avenue School and finally Boundstone. I moved away from the area in 196,9 aged 13, to Bournemouth. Magical Memories I think it is a magical place. I have fond memories of all my old school friends. Lancing Rec, he manor where I attended Sea Scouts, tennis at The Manor with Susan Collins, whom I admired from afar! Adventures and Fun The Chalk Pit, great fun to be had.  Evening football training with Lancing FC under floodlights, wow, such great memories. Getting in Touch Any old pals who want to get in touch I am on Facebook, or graham.franklin@jewson.co.uk Great pages, thanks. GRAHAM FRANKLIN
