MEMORIES OF THE CAPTAIN
Outside Maidencombe Farm and the rapidly progressing house build of the Austin family. I paused a moment this afternoon to recall the old Captain who had a tiny caravan just behind the gravel.

'Old Bill' as he was affectionally known, knew all the secrets of Maidencombe and passed some of his knowledge on to me in his final years. You could walk past his caravan late at night and he would always have the window open whatever the weather. There's many a tale that can be told of the Captain's exploits ..
