A View from the Crossroads:
Memories of a Ferry Man
by Derek John Freeman
I was raised in South Queensferry (the Ferry) and lived in the Prefabs at Walker Drive (now mentioned in the song "Two Bridges" by Bwani Junction) till my marriage in 1966.
I have often thought about putting pen to paper and telling some of the tales from my early years, but to be honest I didn't think there would be much interest in the Ferry and the exploits of myself and a few friends in the late 1950's and early 1960's.
At present I am recovering from a serious illness and thought what better time to put my thoughts into words.
Crime in the Ferry was unheard of - that was until one quiet Sunday night when we decided to walk down to the Harbour for a game of cards. What was planned as a one-off exploit turned into a crime spree.
I have attempted in these stories to relate everything I can remember as clearly as possible and without incriminating any of my former friends.
