Maureen Pountney of Gogbatch

Maureen Pountney grew up in Gogbatch near All Stretton and tells us about life on a small farm with her family. At the age of 6 Maureen would walk to school in Smethcott with her cousin and friends, a journey which took about an hour through fields and along lanes. Simple pleasures were playing hide and seek in the tall bracken and caring for caid lambs in the kitchen. She left Gogbatch and married a professional footballer and they later opened a sports shop on Wyle Cop in Shrewsbury. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
