I lived at 18 Citrus Square from 60 to 62 - this brought back terrific memories. Can't thank you enough - I don't think folk will be able to do this for much longer! I'd love to get hold of your footage. Ladies Mile, tunnel beach, orange blossom, Miss Gee at the primary school, doughnuts and coke in the NAAFI on a saturday morning

we lived at 10 mulberry mansions in 1985, such fond memories, going to the olympic size swimming pool, down the naafi, catching the bus to episkopi, so sad to see it all closed, when i visited cyprus in 2009, its lost its charm, sad to say, thank god for happy memories when my lovely dad was still alive,xx

Wow, what a trip down memory lane, I used to live a 13 Carob Crescent from approx 1963 to '68.I recall going to Mama Redjeb's (sp) near the NAAFI and hire the mule, jump it over the storm drains and let it graze in the garden for the afternoon. We lived directly across from the playing field and school, with the cinema at the far end.

I can also recall my Mum taking me and my younger brother down to ladies mile.

This has been such a memory jerker, thanks so much for posting.

you must have taken the school bus from Akrotiri too. Long hot ride ..loved it when we went through the plantation..Yani was our driver...

I went to this school from 1956 to 1960. How poignant to see it again. I forget I am not the only one with memories of this place. Thank you. Beautiful pictures. I love the school work still on the walls.. Carob Crescent...Jacaranda Ave... Oleander Ave...such evocative names.

Mr. Knight was my last head teacher there.

I went to the school form 1959 to 1961 and lived in Cirus Square I think number 18. Mr Knight was the Head Teacher and he lost his son Mervyn in the Turkish plane crash at Christmas 1961 returning from school in the UK. It was up and running for at least a couple of years before my family arrived. Had no swimming pool in those days!! mdo

I used to live at 13 Olive Grove 71 to 74 and went to the primary school. Have just returned from a holiday in Limassol and saw the base from outside the fence. I have always thought the fence went up in 74 and that we were the last ones to live in our house. Looking at these posts it seems I was wrong.

We did manage to get down and visit Happy Valley this trip, was great to see where we pitched our tent for the year and spend the weekends

I also lived in Oleander Avenue - can't remember the number. I must have been there in 1960/61/62 - I'm sure it must have been built earlier than the 60's? I also went to Berengaria school but you guys must have a better memory than me - cant recall the teachers, although I did live next door to Ian and Jean Goad and their son Jon who was a good friend.
