Received from Peter Ambrose writing of his late father Aubrey Ambrose who lived at Turcoman, Westerfield Road, Westerfield.
I thought you might be interested in a little bit of Westerfield recent history, as
my father was the first person after the Second Wold war to build his own
house singlehandedly. This made news in the national papers as well as the Evening Star, who reported that my father a then 28 year old bricklayer, tired of living in half a council house built the property in 14 months at a cost of £900.00 plus a further £150.00 for the land.
My father died this June just before his 85th birthday and his ashes are
buried in the churchyard of St Mary Magdalene where his parents are also
buried; he built the house next door to theirs. His wife Doris, my mother, still lives in the house my father built, which is named Turcoman after one of the minesweepers he
served on during the Second World war.
