Overview

As a boy in 1934 Paul Vaughan unwittingly became part of a social trend - a great mass migration to the outskirts of London - as his family moved from Brixton to booming New Malden where their new semi was a mere stroll away from countryside. This was Suburbia and its outlook was not entirely promising. But Vaughan was so fortunate as to find an inspirational headmaster - John Garrett - at his local grammar school which boasted a school song composed by Garretts friend W.H. Auden. In due course he would find his way to Oxford; but as this evocative account testifies New Malden would never quite leave him.
