<strong>RICHARD</strong> <strong>ALLEN</strong> <strong>SCOTT</strong><br />

THROUGH THE YEARS<br />

A 1965 view of Uplands Way looking down <strong>the</strong> hill<br />

from 55. Grandpa had an allotment at <strong>the</strong> bottom of<br />

<strong>the</strong> hill. He used to put me in a wheelbarrow and<br />

roll me down so I could play in <strong>the</strong> brook that flowed<br />

through <strong>the</strong> little park while he tended his vegetable<br />

garden.<br />

According to my late Uncle Brian, he and a friend<br />

used to push me down <strong>the</strong> hill in a cart….and<br />

laugh….and see where I landed. Cruel uncle.<br />

Below is <strong>the</strong> same view of Uplands Way in 2012….<br />

note all <strong>the</strong> cars on <strong>the</strong> street now.<br />

Hardly any cars on <strong>the</strong> street - 1965<br />

55 Uplands Way backed onto a golf<br />

course and had a small brook flowing at<br />

<strong>the</strong> bottom of <strong>the</strong> garden.<br />

Me outside of 55 Uplands Way, Grange Park, and <strong>the</strong><br />

view uphill – 1998<br />

(Not too many cars on <strong>the</strong> street)<br />
