I used to go to school here from about 1957-1959 but I can't quite work out where our house was from here. We were in a tiny RAF married quarters patch with a little circle of houses. I walked from there. It would be great to find it.

I was at Warton for 5 months from July '63 (rtnd from Cyprus before posting to Chivenor). I wa sonly 12 mind you, but I remember using the school hols to explore most of the camp. The picture shows the entrance to the north section (occupied by the Yanks during WW2) - derelict in 1962. The south section where we were billeted was a bit further towards Warton village (entrance on the the right going east). I went to school in Kirkham for a few months. Glenniffer, the small married quarters you're referring to is probably Freckleton, east of Warton.
