    Anyone remember the rowing boats on the embankment by the bridge. One acquaintance from those times with the rowing boats was a Neil Gamble. He had a son who was injured in a bus accident. I met him in Teignmouth in Devon where he owned an ex-lifeboat which he used for fishing and diving trips. 

     

    He must have lived somewhere near to where he worked. Perhaps the Meadows or London Road area.

    What a coincidence. Around 1964 we moved to a house on Glebe Street in the Meadows, the neighbours told me about a boy that used to live there who lost both his legs in an accident with a bus. We used to get mail for the previous tenants the Gambles. In the attic were books about sailing which had been left behind. Small world.
