Does your childhood home still exist - especially if you moved around a lot when young!

DF was in the RAF so we moved around a lot when young.
It's sometimes nice to go and see old haunts - but time certainly changes stuff.

The RAF shut a lot of bases - and redevelopment has had a massive impact.

Was in North London yesterday - home from the 70s has been completely knocked down and replaced with what is a very nice modern house.

The other house and the whole base has been completely redeveloped with flats. Lots of flats. The area is unrecognisable - from "just" 40 years ago.

Home from the 80s is behind a gated community now. The other one is actually on the base so can't see it.

Childhood home abroad - burnt down.

Basically - I've been able to just find 1 house that is still standing and is still the same - from 1988.

So - do you think your child hood home still exists! Have you been to see the area?

I had one childhood home (in London) and my parents are still living there now.

Yes I lived in two houses as a child. Both still standing and used as family homes.
