More about this scene
This one-street town is one of the most delightful in England; it is a special place to visit and an even better one to stay in, to use as a base for the exploration of Worcestershire. The Youth Hostel, seen here on the left, is sadly no longer a part of the YHA network.

On one or two occasions I ...see more
I lived in Chaddesley from about 1955 to 1967 when I left and went to America. I went to the village school and the Grange School in Stourbridge. Some of the names I remember from that time are: Jeff Stone, Dave Gold, Lawrence Rose, Rosemary Purchase and John George. If you lived there at that time, it would be great to hear what happened over the years.
Does anyone remember or have links with the Crowther family who lived in Chaddesley Corbett 1900-1910? This is relevent to me as Lewis was my father. Phillip my grandfather, who I never knew, worked in the big house as a coachman I believe and I want to see if there are any reletives still surviving who may be related to me. My email address is martingrenville@talktalk.net Any photos or anything would be gratefully received. Many thanks.
