This was one of the entrants in a fund raising pram race in April or May 1986. I have submitted this picture as it shows the school field and houses behind. This field was once an estate of Victorian terraced houses until the whole area was devastated by a Nazi V-2 rocket in 1945. Post war the area was only partly redeveloped, the bulk becoming a school playing field. The rooves of the semi-detached houses in the background still show signs of repair work carried out after the bombing.
