215‘ January 2008

Dear Mrs Woodgate,

Thank you for your further letter of January 5”‘, with its enclosures. The photographs
are very fine, and I am most grateful for the effort you have made in having them done.
They will be incorporated into our archive as part of the history of Bridge.

At the end of February our History Society meeting will be a ‘Members’ Evening’ at
which we shall be showing a DVD compiled by another old resident of Bridge (though
he too no longer lives here), Bob Williams, who was a keen photographer, and who ran
the ‘Bridge Cinema’ from a shed in his back garden in Patrixbourne Road. I will see if
any of the members present remember your name from their time at school here!

Thank you again for the interest you have shown in trawling through your memories.

Yours sincerely,


Dear Dr. Raraty,

Thank you for your kind letter, dated 29"‘ September,
which I received on the 4"‘ October. Further to my
telephone conversation with you on that day, I now furnish
you with one other memory and one that is still clear in my
mind.

Please find below my recollection:

When I was six or seven years old, (1948/49) we as a
family, were still living in Bridge; I was woken up very late
in the evening and was wrapped in a blanket and taken
outside to the Post Office across the road from Weston
VilIa’s (where we lived), and held in my father's arms.

We stood waiting but I had no idea who or what we were
waiting for. Lots of other villagers had also gathered
expectantly. Suddenly a noise was heard which became
louder as it drew nearer. I then witnessed what I now
know was a pilgrimage travelling through from the
continent. It was a man carrying a large wooden cross
over his shoulder with a large supporting retinue.

He was representing the Lord Jesus Christ. It must have
been at Easter time.

It made a huge impression on me at the time; a week later
I took a newspaper article, about the event, to my teacher,
who was a teaching sister (Sister Ethelberta) at St.Anne’s
Roman Catholic Convent School in Sturry- I was the only
pupil to do so!

I take the opportunity to send you further copies of the
photographs I sent before. These have been computer
enhanced and consequently are of a much better quality.
