I was a cub and scout at 2nd Arnold from 1958 onwards and helped with the demolishing of the old air raid shelter. I may have photos and will have a look - could take a little while!!

I was born and brought up on Saville Road. Our house plot was believed to have been on the site of Arnot Hill House stables and kennels as my Dad was always digging up bones in the back garden.
