In Search of Oldton



I knew all along that by sharing Oldton with you, there'd be something here you'd recognise.

You'd start to recall people who lived here, or call to mind a particular location. A smell, or a sound might trigger something for you, and a route might open up ahead:

past the swimming pool... towards the shops... down by the side of the park... through the timber yard to the station...

I suppose I didn't quite realise how imaginative you'd be. To discover, for example, that there might have been a holiday camp in Oldton at one time came as something of a shock to me. If you have further revelations of this kind, please do mail me.
