In May 1968, we moved again as my parents took charge of the Salvation Army corps in Wolverhampton. We lived in a house called "Mildred House" in Cartwright Street, but again I fear the house has been demolished.
The Salvation Army hall in Wolverhampton is currently being used by another church, the picture below shows it when the Salvation Army was still in occupation.
In the summer of 1968 there was a holiday playscheme in one of the parks in Wolverhampton. I went once and hated it and didn't go back.
The family holiday in 1968 was to Mockerin, near Cockermouth in what was then Cumberland, in the Lake District. I remember visiting the Boulder Stone and Wastwater. The photograph below was taken by my dad, and shows me and my mum and brothers at the village sign. I am the one in the middle.
