THREE MEN DROWNED The tragedy was appalling, relatives and friends of the two would-be rescuers could do nothing as they watched young Peacock and their loved ones being swept away. All three bodies were eventually recovered and Cliff Harcourt and Tom Evans had heroes funerals.

So what did we do for kicks? by Anne Ardouin (nee Wilkinson)
... we would adjourn with doorstep sandwiches of Shippam’s paste or squashed tomatoes, to Rotherslade or Langland – or get out our bikes and cycle to Crawley Woods.
