I don’t think we were allowed on it then but after the war it was empty but that was another little walk we used to do after Sunday School and walk along the path. The path that is there now is more or less where the path was after the war. There were lots of army looking buildings and steps down, underground stuff and I always tell my family that there is a flat piece of tarmac there and that is the roof of a bungalow. You won’t believe it but there was a bungalow there that you walked down steps to it, towards the sea. If you go back there now and there is a little part with a chimney pot, and it is still there. That was a lower-level bungalow and I think the person in charge, whoever he was in the army had that place and the rest of the place was more or less on the level but there is a lot of stuff built there that’s underneath and you don’t know it is there.
