Many memories of exploring the buildings, the billiards room was amazing and great fun-Full size snooker table . Secret passages/staircases behind walls. Trout fishing up the lakes catching monsters, quad biking with the greenhalls. Tennis at the court could go on for 5 hours. Swimming in the outdoor pool in the summer. Many summers spent here and great child hood memories camping etc. I always remember the smell of good food as you walked in through the back door into the hallway, kitchen on the left. As you walked into the kitchen, billiards room on the right. You would go up a flight of stairs on the right from a hallway to get too the appartment.

Durham, in about 1948. In fact, we picked potatoes, but had time off so I was able to explore the area on my bicycle. Explored Tewkesbury Abbey and came across Eastnor Castle as a surprise view over a hedge ! Walking across the Malvern hills was<br />arranged, and also we worked on Bredon Hill, where our Physics master Dennis weatherly sang<br />"Summer time on Bredon" to us. He later joined the BBC Singers.

Eight of us and a teacher were billeted at Bromsberrow Place for a couple of months and no-one could have been kinder than Miss Albright. We four girls slept in the late son's bedroom which was decorated with rowing trophies, caps and scarves, and deer heads.(please don't hang your <br />hats on the antlers)<br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-704095971276575721.post-55870749163418041622014-03-27T18:25:15.822+00:002014-03-27T18:25:15.822+00:00I am now 73, And I remember well my mother going t...I am now 73, And I remember well my mother going to pay the rent for Aubrey's farm where we then lived . I was not impressed with my mothers reception by Miss Albright toward an honest worker. My dear father worked himself to death on one of her farms which was Aubrey's farm. I feel even these many years later how down trodden the working class were.

My Dad worked for Dinah Albright from 1984 until her death. We lived in the staff quarters, then in a cottage on the Estate. Fascinating!
