Question: How long have you lived in the Forest?

Bruce Hogan answered on 7 Oct 2010:

I moved to the Forest in August 1975 so that makes it 35 years. When I moved here to take up a job at Double View School (Now Heywood) I thought I would be here for about five years, but I just loved the place.

I was born minutes before 1100 on the 11th of the 11th a long ttme ago here in the Forest at Ruardean – the year was when Edward 8th abdicated. Apart from a period in the army I lived in Gloucester and worked at Impregnated Diamonds Products Gloucester as a Development Engineer. When my daughters Tina and Lynne were close to school age we decided to move back to the Forest and have been here ever since.

I was born at the Dilke hospital in the year that Queen Elizabeth was crowned queen–that is why my full name is Elizabeth Diana.!!! I grew up in Ruardean and except for me and my late husband going to university I have always lived in the Forest as I love it so much.

We were house hunting and could have lived any where but when we saw the Forest there was nowhere else we wanted to go that was 11 years ago
