East Retford memories.

Officially the title is East Retford but in common parlance Retford is sufficient.  I had relatives whom we visited   For me the attraction was that the garden backed onto the engine sheds!

Our school chess team visited Retford each year and as a member of the team I was fortunate to miss afternoon classes on that day.

Far more exciting though was the family's regular visits to the trackside at Ranskill about five miles north of Retford.  A succession of A4s, A1s, A3s, A2s, the lone W1 and V2s stormed past.
