I was so pleased to find this photograph My dad was in the R.A.F .I was born 17 th October 1962 and have never been back.My dad was Ronald Mallott and was stationed here until 1963.Maybe one day will go back though my disabilities may make it difficult.
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.
I LIVED IN THIS STREET AND WENT ST.GEOGES PRIMARY SCHOOL I REMEMBER MY MUM PULLING ME TO SCHOOL ON A SLEDGE FROM YHIS HOUSE AND I LEARNED TO RIDE A BIKE HERE WOW, THIS IS GREAT TO SEE !!!
This estate was called 'Southgate'. It was also affectionately(?) known by locals as LegoLand, as it looked like it had been built from blocks of Lego.

Magnificent shot. Certainly the best of the Beetham I've seen.

Pam,
I can remember the raffles at the Merry Monk: top prize a pack of meat; second a box of eggs. It must have been around the mid 1980's.
Regards,
Seth
