My
Ma and Pa, war weary me,
Have moved down here,
Yes,
just us three,
With
all my siblings married off
(‘I’ll
not be next’ I sometimes
scoffed)
I
went to fight the war myself
Since
I'd been left upon the shelf
But
just when all had settled down
I
met a cousin in the town
And
thinking 'Gosh, he’s really nice'
I
got engaged within a trice
And
so I left my parents here
And moved to Marlow, still quite
near.
Charles
Arthur and Elsie Skull moved to a flat here during the war.
They later
moved to Rydal Mount in Station Road and, later still, to Queens Road
(house now demolished). Ruth 'Bobby' Skull married John 'Jack'
Peace and moved to Southview Road, Marlow.

Bobby speak (recorded in 2002)
