This was when I was eight to ten years old - got my first camera, first read Tolkien here, first got into ‘pop music’ as such (thanks Sean Cassidy!), so in ways it’s actually a memorable location in my psychic landscape. Though of course much of the shipyard was a typical Navy base, where we lived near the Marine barracks was nice - big huge parade ground right in front of our house that was perfect for flying kites on, some lovely tree-lined roads, and a side dirt road that went down to a slightly mysterious wetland spot. Probably all changed now after the sale, but the memories are in my mind.
