Sue Russell: Early days

When I was a baby we lived on a boat called ‘Westo’ in the harbour opposite the Boatyard.

When Mary was old enough to go to school we moved to Fernlea in Mill Road and there we stayed until I was about 20. I remember our friends used to come for their baths as we had a large cast iron one and they didn’t have one in their houses. Sue Russell nee Hayles b 1940
