When the County Show was in Mote Park, we actually lived in Hermitage Lane (cottage now demolished), opposite the old Oakwood Hospital. School was Westborough for a year, and then we moved to Hampshire Drive, Shepway, and I went to Mole Hill Copse, when it was brand new - happy days!!!! Why did the sun always seem to shine, and winters had snow?!!!
Playing outside, in the street was a right, not a luxury - and certainly not a risk. Even in Hermitage Lane we used to go "over the back" where there were orchards, which had housed Nissen Huts during the war - the concrete foundations were still evident - quite lonely, but actually safe, even in spite of some patients being trustees and being allowed offsite from the hospital
