The Square Circle

By Herbert Curtis

Memories of Alveston 1940 to 1955

Join Herbie on a guided tour of a small English village as he experienced it growing up in the 1940s and 50s. Travelling the streets and lanes, he recalls the events and people that formed the tapestry of daily life at the time.

Alveston in South Gloucestershire is typical of many villages throughout England. This account provides a window into a way of life that would have been common to many rural communities. Things may have moved at a slower pace back then but, as our tour guide will describe, life was far from boring

Herbie Curtis loved telling a good story. He was a natural raconteur and the life and soul of any gathering.

After years of his family nagging him to write a memoir, he finally gave in.

The complete book was printed in 1999 as a photocopied booklet that raised funds for charity.

On the 25th Anniversary of the first printing, his youngest son is proud to finally publish the memoir as an actual book.
