Growing up in the Bay - through the decades...
1930/1940’s memories - Eileen Rusden (nee Eades)
I started school the year WW2 was declared, 1939. Joyce Davis (nee Heron) was in my class right through school. then the Bay was a fairly isolated country village. We lived by the corner of Bolton Street and our nearest neighbor was on the corner of Puketea Street, so there were plenty of empty sections on which to play our favourite game of “rounders”.
