My mother recalls her wartime memories as a young child in Capel St Mary
My grandfather, Hugh, and grandmother, Elsie, moved to Capel St Mary when my mother was very young, taking over the shop and Post Office shown in the photograph.The attached cottage was the family home during World War Two.
Later, my grandfather, because of my grandmother's ill health, had a bungalow built to house themselves and the post office, and the shop was taken on by someone else.The original shop building with an attached cottage was demolished when the road was widened.The bungalow remains but is now completely residential.
