In the 1970s or early 80s, I can't really remember, I lived with my aunt and uncle in Naunton Road and O use to hang around with a girl called Dot. My uncle used to called her Dot Dash Period. Does anyone remember her, or myself. I would love to hear from anyone who used to hang around Sussex Square in those days.

I awoke this morning wondering about some of my old school friends from Swindon and of the bizarre things we got up to at such an early age (9 or 10)- ie: selling raffle tickets door to door,then buying cakes etc with the proceeds. It was Barbara Tomkin's idea if my memory serves correctly, I'm sure she must be an entreprenuer today. My name is Sylvia Foster (nee Brown) and attended Lanesmead primary. I lived at 34 Somerville Road, Walcot, we often played at Sussex Square, I loved the library. We moved away for a couple of years then returned, I attended Walcot Secondary (1969-70). My parents managed the Bulldog Off-Licence before sailing off to Australia in 1971 where I am today. Some of the names I remember from school and surroundings: Lucy Adler, Tina Hunt, Susan Sturgeon, Helen Smith, Barbara Tomkins, Michelle Dingley,(another) Sylvia Brown, Leroy Hogan, Nigel Causton. If you are out there and would like to email, please do, I would love to hear from any of you.

I am working on family history of Morses in Wiltshire. I'm looking for any Morse descendants from William Morse, the elder, Rodbourne Cheney (1500s).

I am looking for Gloria Lucas. She is an old friend of my father who was born 1942 or 1943 and lived in Swindon.

Hi, I was at wWalcot sec.modern from 1957 to 1961, and remember Maureen Symes, Bill Mclean, and my best friends were Carole Broome and Brenda Payne. I also remember Mr Healey (maths) Mr.Harris(geography,history) Miss Charters (English). Out of school we used to go to the youth centre at Sussex Square in the community hall. I lived in Essex Walk(off Raleigh Avenue). Anyone remember me?
