Dear Jane,
First of all, congratulations on your
excellent web-site, it puts many so called professional web-sites to
shame.
I grew up in Cottingham (1940 to 1953 period),
lived at Frogs Island and No. 8 Ripley Road. Now live in Kettering -
retired.
How about this - Looked at your Scout photo
(from over 50 years ago) and immediately recognised several people. Went
to the V.E. event today and didn't recognise a single face!
Whilst delving into some old negatives for any
Cottingham photos I might have (photography was my hobby at the time),
surprise surprise, there is the negative of the Scout group which is on
the web-site. Presumably taken with my camera on a tripod with the
self-timer, I still can't remember the occasion, but then it was over 50
years ago!

information about life in Cottingham, including some wartime memories,
