Where was the region, city, town or village where you grew up? Or perhaps you moved around so much there was no one place. I grew up in Portsmouth which is a Naval port in Southern UK.
When I was 5 we moved from a pre-fab (post-war temporary accommodation) to a newly built council house on the outskirts of Portsmouth. It was rather small - 2 bedrooms, bathroom, kitchen, small living room but had a large garden, so my Dad grew vegetables. It also backed onto Farlington marshes, now a nature reserve, where I roamed as a kid. That was the good part as it was like being in the country. The downside was the lack of things to do as a teenager...
What were the good and not so good things about where you grew up?
