MR DAVID SWALLOW

A short account of my life in the Whitehawk area

By David Swallow

I first lived at Hodshrove Road, Moulsecomb.

I had 2 brothers.

I went to Moulsecomb Infant & Junior & then to Stanmer.

I had a lovely Childhood with great friends and parents.

Moulsecomb playing fields were at the end of our garden,so it was playing football most evenings.

I used to be a paper boy and butchers boy on Saturday.

My first proper job was as an engineer with Segas. My next job was on the buildings, as a concreter and with a bricklaying gang.

I then went back to Segas (British Gas).

On taking redundancy from Segas, I then went to work as a postman.

I am now retired.

I got married to my lovely wife Glynis in 1976 at Stanmer church and in 1982 my son was christened there.

I now live in Reading Road, Whitehawk.

I have 2 children, Alexander and Rebecca. They both went to St Marks Primary School, Alex then went to Cardinal Newman and then Cardinal College Cambridge. Rebecca was awarded a scholarship to St Marys Hall and when it closed was transfered to Roedean.

I still live in Reading Road, in the same house as I got married.
