A Moving Story

This is the trunk I used to transport my belongings when I left home for the first time in 1958. I was off to Birmingham University. Dad took it to the railway station in Bridgend in his van, and it was delivered to my new temporary home.

I wasn't very happy with my first year lodgings, so I moved during the summer break. I carried the trunk on my back. It wasn't full, and I didn't have very far to go, but it felt like a long way! I wouldn't try that now.
