Scrumping with Roy’s ‘Gang’


Note from the Editor:
This article was kindly written for the SDC by member @Doctor Alan.

When I was about 10 or 11, our family lived in what was called a ‘Council House’ in Kingscroft Road, Woodmansterne. (The Australian equivalent, I think, would be ‘Housing Commission). We’d moved from one of the dwellings erected hastily after the War called a ‘Pre-Fab’ (pre-fabricated building) in 1948, when I was four years old, In nearby Laker’s Rise. There wasn’t much money around then. Rationing was still very much a necessity, and we had to use our ration books to buy food.
