I was about 4 or 5 when we moved away from Keyham but the memories that i made there have never left me. This is an exploration of what i remember about keyham at age 5 and under.

Blockhouse Park - obviously was taken to parks quite a bit as a small child. These are ones I seem to remember.

Camel's Head
This confused me because i had a memory of a long railway bridge over an estuary and something to do with Camels. I kept thinking Camelford but that's not nearby so finally I check a map and it's got to be Camel's Head. So I remember going here with my mum - just walking I think. I was very little.



Camels Head Creek taken from the shoreline in the 1960's - this area is now totally reclaimed land with a road and the entrance to the Naval Base. 1960's The white buildings seen underneath the second span of the viaduct are at Bull Point. If it were possible to take this picture from this position nowadays the majority of properties in the background would be hidden by the Giant Waste to Energy Plant. Copyright Sid Sponheimer

I'm assuming the creek as was took the shape of a camel's head. I'll check that.
