Seeing Barrie Slade's photo brings back memories of his penchant for high speed.

He had a speedometer fitted to his pushbike and starting off at the top of Coach Road he would hurtle down the hill at top speed and run the gauntlet across the highway into Newborough. I'm not aware as to whether he had any close shaves. His best top speed to my knowledge was around 63 MPH.

This family sponsored my family to Australia in 1950. We are Alfred and Maria Housden, Charmaine, Dolores and Dennis. I remember Noel's taste in ties as a teenager and his pigeons, Barrie's cakes at his cafe, Beckky's scones at home and many weekends spent in the family home. Charmaine Housden
