Transcript of Growing up in Salisbury, Wiltshire
‘Take a trip down Memory Lane,
Where I am a child again,
And terraced houses can be found,
Instead of tarred and concrete ground’
Rita Lynn Jacob wrote
the poem
‘Ode to Rampart Road’
Rita, three years old, walking along
Rampart RoadA three-year-old today
There were a lot of children in the area. Listen to the
memories of some people who lived there.
Sue Morrissey
Bag a swing,
whizz down the slide,
The carousel dips
as it spins around,
Visit the Greencroftor Riverside,
Sweeping your feet
High off the
ground.
‘But if you have no wish to roam,
Toys and games await at home,
Create a theatre on the stairs,
A princess’s palace
Beneath the chairs’
‘Or find
a rope
and twirl
in time,
To a
traditional
skipping
rhyme.’

But life wasn’t all
fun and games!
Running a home
was hard work
and children had
to help too.
