Nostalgic memories of Highley's local history

Share your own memories of Highley and read what others have said

For many years now, we've been inviting visitors to our web site to add their own memories to share their experiences of life as it was when the photographs in our archive were taken. From brief one-liners explaining a little bit more about the image depicted, to great, in-depth accounts of a childhood when things were rather different than today (and everything inbetween!). We've had many contributors recognising themselves or loved ones in our photographs.

Why not add your memory today and become part of our Memories Community to help others in the future delve back into their past.

My mother, Annie Betteridge, lived in Highley as a child and her great friend was Lois Beddoe, both lived in Coronation Street. Lois married Harry Morgan and had a daughter Jennifer in 1940. Lois died in childbirth and Jennifer survived; we believe she was adopted by an aunt and taken to Colorado, U.S.A. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks, June.
I lived in Highley from birth till 1957.
