Foxwarren reminiscence honors do it yourself community spirit
Jack Widdicombe recalls Foxwarren’s rise from a thriving 1912 town to a postwar community built by residents. He highlights the school, music, agriculture, and a now beloved rink and Leisure Centre born from local initiative, financing, and teamwork after World War II. He notes shifts in population, farming, and youth hockey paths, ending with a quip about Miss Strachan.
