Note - not sure if this is the right location for the picture, but I think
that Bottery Windmill is in the distance.

My story was the same as the one above but much earlier. I was there in 1959. Group Captain Harris and his family, Tim and Janine were fantastic. I was very happy working there and it changed my life. mr. Smith ran the garden and chicken farm at High Beech. Mr. Nick was a great guy.

I was at High Beech in 1958/59 and as above, enjoyed my time there. I remember Mr Smith and a Mr Taylor, both treated me kindly. I've made a trip back there, and it is so run down, but did get the chance to walk around the grounds. If you manage to go there, the memories just flood back.
