THE STORY OF CHILDHOOD IN BERE REGIS
IN THE YEARS AROUND THE TIME OF THE
FIRST WORLD WAR - PART 3

Here we have the third instalment from Bill Lucas’s little book ‘Dorset Born’. Bill was
born and brought up in my house at the top of Barrow Hill. Here we hear of
childhood pursuits and his experience with tending bee hives. It includes such
childhood pranks as firing their catapults from the top of the church tower until
they got caught! Unthinkable in this day and age!
