The following are all photographs taken in 1972 which have been kindly provided by Tracy Reeser.

Tracy was born in Bond Street, Leicester during October 1961. His father was from Pennslyvannia U.S.A and his mother was from Wigston. His dad was stationed at Bruntingthorpe Aerodrome.

His family moved to 22 Oaks Drive, Newbold Verdon and stayed from 1971/72 before moving back to the States.

The following photos were all taken on a day trip organised by Ann Broomfield to Avoncroft Museum Of Buildings, Worcestershire.

Along with these Tracy has also provided photos of his house in Oaks Drive and a day trip to Mallory Park.

Tracy has fond memories of his time at Newbold Verdon and would love to hear from anyone that can remember him – especially: Glenda Neild, Kevin Blackery, Andrew Fawkes, Warren Jones, Gary Palmer, Paul Hextall, Andrew Day, Steven Cope, Derek Vickers and Steven Hammond.

If anyone wishes to contact him please drop me a message where I can provide a contact email.

Many thanks to Tracy for providing these photos.
