Sheila’s Grown Up Adventures
Meeting Frank
Sheila loved ice skating at Harringay Speedway with a gang of friends and this is where she first met Frank when they were still teenagers. Sometime later, they were both at a party with the same group of friends when Frank offered her a lift home on his motorbike – and that was the start of their relationship. Motorbikes played a big part in their early life together, including a biking holiday all the way to Italy.
This is what Sheila had to say about how their relationship developed:
Mrs Sheila Fisher-Davis
Sheila and Frank married in London on a spring day and very soon after bought a house in Tempest Avenue, Potters Bar.
In 1960 John was born and just less than three years later Martin followed.
As the family grew, they moved firstly to Elm Bank Avenue, Barnet and then Garthland Drive, Arkley. Along the way, they built a little bungalow in St Osyth, nr Clacton, with the help of Betty’s husband Bob.
Bob had been a big help earlier at Tempest Avenue building a garage and, by more devious means, they managed to get the resources together to build a coal bunker, as Sheila explains below:
Sheila loved her crafts. She worked for a company making decorative fancy tassels at home when she lived at Garthland Drive.
