The chocolate box sweet shop in Vanston Place. Going to the Science Museum every Sunday on the district line stopping off at Earls Court to get a chocolate eclair from the bakers opposite the station. Playing run outs, knock down ginger and British bulldog in the flats. The man who came round the flats and sang every Sunday morning. We used to throw money out of the window to him. I remember he only had one arm. ...see more
I remember all you have said and remember the whole area being drowned out with the motor racing, as I got older I use to go and watch. Then that all went for the sports centre, which I used to go swimming in with my school.
I was born on Church St, Greasbrough, gran and granddad lived close by in a row of cottages alongside the top club now a car park? My father worked in the local pits and we moved several times. At age 10 we moved back to Church St into the house next door to where I was born. I remember walking with my granddad around the Dam, talking to the fishermen. Walking past the game-keepers cottage by the bridge between ...see more
Just before Christmas in 1941/1942 which would make me 6 to 7 years old, still believing in Father Christmas I was invited to a Christmas party in a cottage in Bratton Lane. There was lots of snow that day and when I got inside there were lots of children and we were having a great time. At one point one of the adults asked us to be quiet and listen... suddenly there was a loud bump on the roof and someone said, 'it's ...see more
After I foumd out that my family lived at 3 Canning Place in 1838 and attended the Holland Street Catholic Chapel, I discovered the RC baptisms of John Rogers Herbert RA artist and my g.g.g.aunt Kezia Herbert nee Dedman's three children's baptisms at Holland Street RC Chapel 1838. A wonderful surprise. These registers were only discovered in 2008 and are kept at the Westminster Diocesean Archives ...see more
My great grandfather was Alfred Monk and he married Edith Elizabeth Thompson. They lived at 25 Gosport Road and I have the 1911 census copy that he filled out..
I was baptised in this church in 1953. Born in April 1949 at 91, The Chase, Burnt Oak, my christening was postponed due to the death of my grandfather, Alexander Sturges in November of that year. He is buried in the churchyard. This was known as Handel's church in our family. Apparently the Earl of Chandos was his patron and it stands near Chandos Park.
I was born in 1958 and brought up in Green Street which was facing the Conservative club. I went to St George's junior school where the headmaster was Mr Hosfield; a disciplinarian but very fair. After school I would play football with my mates kicking the ball against the garage door of the original police station which was on the corner of Green street and Stanley street. Fond memories include: Ratcliffes ...see more
My great great great aunt, Kezia Dedman, married John Rogers Herbert RA artist in 1833. They became Catholic converts in 1838. They had three children baptised at Holland Street Roman Catholic Chapel Kensington in 1838. I have never found my Kezia Herbert nee Dedman's Catholic baptism book. Even the Westminster Diocesean Archives cannot find it. But I know my ancestors both became Catholics in 1838. I ...see more
I was born on Brixton Hill in 1937 but my family moved to Upper Norwood very shortly after. We were close to St Joseph's Catholic School on Crown Dale and had an idyllic time before we were evacuated to Peterborough. When we returned in 1946 St Joseph's was full so I had to go to Rockmount. Not a happy place for me apart from Miss Hansor who taught me most of my present vocabulary, and John Morgan and ...see more
Yes I remember Sandy. My mother was the Manager of the Co-op decorating shop opposite the Town Hall. It was called 'The Colour Centre'. One of her frequent visitors was Sandy, he would call in for a cup of tea whilst on his beat. As he was a tall man, so as not to be seen by any passers by, he would open the door to the stockroom, remove his helmet, and stand behind the door enjoying his tea. Fortunately, the crime rate was low in Walsall in this era, a real character was Sandy.
My family moved to Bodedern in the mid 50's & I have many fond memories. My father was the minister at Gilgal & I attended the local village school then Holyhead County School. Our headteacher at the local school was Mr Jones & at Holyhead, Mr Trevor Lovett. The village was a friendly place to live in & I had many friends; Selwyn Roberts, Gareth Jones, Evan Evans, Llew ...see more
My friends and I would climb what could have been the old gardy loo shaft inside the outer walls and scrump the orchard with alacrity. We had the run of the castle so I guess we did conquer it in a way... heady days indeed. I do remember about possibly the Normans stripping the bark of the apple trees because they could not take it... well, they were French weren't they!
I was born in 1937 but remember nothing of that year! We lived in Backworth, Northumberland where my father was the colliery engineer at the Maud & the Eccles pits. In about 1945 we moved to the village of Earsdon where I spent my early childhood. The village was on the top of a small hill and consisted of a main street and a church, St Albans, and churchyard. The village had its own ...see more
I also remember playing at Tay Mill lodge, I lived just up the road in Hesse Street and attended Higginshaw school until the age of 7. I have very happy memories of Hesse Street, I lived there from 1946 to 1960. The street no longer exists and industrial buildings adorn the site. I keep searching the web for photos of the old street but so far no luck.
Had morning tea here in 2010
I am the daughter of Doreen Smith, daughter of Frederick Steve Smith & Elizabeth Smith (The siblings consisted of Albert, Frederick, John, Violet, Nellie, Millie, Elizabeth or Lizzie who died of TB, Jim, Doreen). They lived at No.11 and then moved to No 5. Mum married Tommy Donaldson Beverley and moved to Gloucester when I was 6. My Grandfather Fred had brothers - Jimmy Smith, who used to live in ...see more

I remember Len Hughes very well; he was a friend of my brother Glyn. We lived at 50 Wynnstay Crescent in the cul-de-sac (the square). My younger brother is Owen.I was a friend of Len's younger brother, Alan, who worked at the colliery. The above website has been done done by Vic Davies, grandson of Victor Haynes, a friend of my dad, Thomas William Jones.Various people have supplied Vic with pictures for his website and he is looking for more.

I was born and bought up in Normoor Road, Three Firs Way, Burghfield. I went to Blands, Garlands and then Willink. My mum, her sister and brother all went to Mrs Blands school on Reading Road in the early 50's. My surname then was Earley and I loved living in Burghfield, I still miss it but I still take my son over to the park in Recreation Road. I remember the coal man, Wellers van and Clifford milk float.
Lived at No7 Wolverhampton Road.. opposite Sammy Hall's butchers. Mum and Dad ran a shop out front and a car repair garage at the rear. No.1 was Coopers tailors... No.3 Baileys dry cleaners and No.5 I recall was owned by Mr & Mrs Edmonds who I believe ran a Midlands Counties Ice cream business. On the other side of us was the Travellers Rest Pub. Opposite were Reynolds Fish & Chips on the corner of Heath ...see more
Oh how I loved this pool in the late 60's early 70's despite the freezing cold water and the foot bath from the changing rooms. It was the place to be. We walked from home at Malthouse Lane through the Abbey fields down to the pool. Long hot summers spent sun bathing on the roof with friends from school, no parents just freedom and fun. I remember the kiosk which we queued at for ice creams, drinks and ...see more
Can anyone remember the church (methodist) you could go in from North Road or from Crossgate, across from St Margaret's Church! I remember the family living in the church house - the Parks (June/Madaline)?
Lovely childhood memories of Valley Road in the 1950`s, lived there from 1952 till 1956. I was one of five children living with my parents; my dad worked at the Tunnel as he called it. I remember getting chased off from wondering near the slurry pit. I remember the butchers van calling round the streets and giving us kids a free 'raw' sausage that I actually ate! I also remember taking the peelings for the chickens to a ...see more
I moved to 146 Warren Drive at the age of one and lived there till I was 18 years old. I went to Benhurst Avenue School then to Suttons Lane Secondary Modern. I remember the bomb dropping in the school gateway in Warren Drive, also of playing in the park. My friends were Betty Ward, Monica Sidey & Pat Craddock - they lived at 150/152 & 153. My father worked as a Storeman for W.C. French at Romford. My mother ...see more
My late husband had only just joined the RN & was put in charge of the mortuary!
We lived in the Peabody estate. 6M, 13U and finally 4A as the family grew from me to finally 4 children. We were very privileged and had a bath under a table top in the kitchen, originally heated with a boiler, coal fed. There was a range in the living room, coal again. When we were at 13U, 5 floors up, 64 steps - not easy for a 6+ year old to lug a galvanized bucket up from our coal store by O block. ...see more
Does anyone remember Coombe School? If you do can you leave a message on here. I think it is called Cheshire Homes for the Elderly. I was born in 1935 and am still trying to find things out about my past.
Anyone remember the bus ride to Sutton from Drift Bridge, via Banstead. Didn't the bus have to stop at the end of the road through Banstead before turning very sharp left? The bus ticket man had to get off and see the bus round the corner before jumping back on. Wow! Has it changed? I suppose it must have done. In the spring, I shall return for a holiday and a good look round and reminisce. 1949 onwards - I was 7 in 1949.
I attended this school from 1962 to 1965 and overall it was not a bad experience the head there at the time was Reg Payne and the deputy heads name was Jones. I don't of course recall all the teachers but here are a few; T C Jones (PE/Maths), Mr King (Art), Mr Williams (PE) and Mr Flude (Art - I seem to recall he played saxaphone). There was also an amazing form master in my third year, a welsh guy called ...see more
My dad was born in Hoe Lane, in one of the Williams Cottages, in 1918. He remembered the orchards and farms that were in Hoe Lane then. I would love to hear from anyone who has photos of that time, taken either in Hoe Lane (Hertford Road End), or of The Bell pub.
Hi, my name is Robin Haylor. My mum, Rosemary Watling, was born in Oxshott, her parents were Albert and Gertie Watling. Mum married Roy Haylor in June 1956 at St. Andrews Church Oxshott.
If you were a boy in the 1950’s did you ever own, like I did, a gird and cleek? Many Motherwell fathers at the time worked in the local steelworks and some would make a gird and cleek for their young sons. Girls, on the other hand, preferred to play with a whip and peerie instead, though despite being a boy I enjoyed both. Anyway, the gird was simply a metal hoop and the cleek a metal rod with a hook at one end. ...see more
I lived at 12 Stanley Cottages, Lanes End with my aunt on several occasions, when my mother was ill in hospital. I loved the area, & made many friends while I was there. My mother was born at number 12, along with two of her sisters. They were "Ludlows", a very prominent name in the area. The Ludlows ran a cricket team along the Green, which consisted of all Ludlows, even the umpires & scorer. I have many old photos of the area, & the cricket teams.
I spent most of my childhood from age 5 - 16 living at 25 Westmorland Avenue (family was the Prices). It was such a lovely street and we had such wonderful neighbours. I hope to get back to England one day and to visit the area.
I was born here in March 1961. My mother spoke very fondly of this hospital and the staff. I have never been to Taplow and hope to visit one day as I live in Australia.
I moved to Thetford from York when I was 2, my father bought a house in St Marys Road. I used to wake up to the smell of freshly baked bread from Barretts bakery. The bells of St Marys Church would ring out every morning at 7. My two brothers and sister was born in that house. I attended Norwich Road School and then the secondary modern where Mr Briggs was the headmaster. Mr Simons the local dairy owner would walk his cows ...see more
Moved to Milestone Road Caravan Park after coming out of the RAF. I enjoyed living there and made many friends; one of my sons was born there, it was a lovely village with many amenities.
Was posted to RAF Brize Norton, my huband was posted there from RAF Innsworth, we lived in Pitreavie Avenue which is now pulled down. It was a fantastic life style which I enjoyed very much.used to go to veras cafe every morning for breakfast ,veras is a fish and chip shop or was ,spent a lot of time in spotlight club although i have always been teetotal ,worked i airmens mess happy days service life is so different to civilian life
Oh, how I remember sliding down those sand hills with my brother. It used to be a day out with my parents from Old Trafford and a stop on the way back at a pub in Altrincham. We were left in the car with crisps and pop... I wish I could do the same with my grandkids!
We moved to an old three storey house of the beaten track, it was an farmhouse called College Farm it was huge with plenty of land. My husband had started working for Colin Gibbs and Mike Pearson, they lived on neighbouring farms and were pig farmers. it was steeped in history Oliver Cromwell was on the deeds to the property and the battle of the roundheads and cavaliers were fought on the surrounding land ...see more
We moved into a cottage in Little Chesterton where my husband had a job working for a pig farmer, it was a really nice hamlet to live in.
Motherwell in the 1950’s seemed fairly dull to me, which is where the Rex Café next to the Rex cinema comes into the picture, if you’ll pardon the pun. It was 1958 when I first feasted my eyes on the café’s flashy jukebox. It looked like something from another planet. I think it was a Rock-Ola jukebox, a state-of-the-art music machine made in the USA. I’m also reminded of Mills music shop, which was on Brandon ...see more
Another memory I have of Brandon High is being taught Scottish Country Dancing, an ordeal exacerbated by the fact that boys and girls were otherwise segregated and consequently perceived one another as members of an alien species. Girls would enter the gym through one door and boys another, then made to line up facing one another like opposing armies before reluctantly having to take a dancing partner. There ...see more
I remember spending many days in Stanley recreation ground in the 1960's. Brook St College (next to the rec) is soon celebrating its 70th anniversary and we are looking for memories of college days from old students. Can anyone help please? Frances Louis - an old Peterborian.
Memories of Brandon High also reminded me of the time I developed a crush on an attractive girl who also attended the school. I decided that a sure-fire method of gaining her attention was to present her with a box of chocolates. As soon as she emerged through the school gates I thrust the chocolates at her. She obviously thought I was some kind of weirdo because she gave a loud shriek and scurried away as fast as ...see more
I lived in Clinton Road, Shirley from 1950 to 1956 when we moved to Smethwick. At the time it was a cul-de-sac and we lived at number 95 right at the end. There was a wood next to us with a wide path though it to Widney Lane. There was also an old house halfway through the wood. The wood has now gone and houses built on it but the old house was still there the last time I visited in 2009. I don't remember much being so ...see more
Mr Potter’s angling experience on the River Clyde reminded me of an unfortunate incident in 1958 when I was fishing at Strathclyde Country Park. I was casting the line when I felt a sharp tug on it. Thinking it had caught on the grass behind me I gave the line a harder yank, but to no avail. It was only when I looked over my shoulder did I discover I had hooked the woollen cardigan of a little girl who happened to ...see more
I think the school was demolished in 2007 as I seem to remember there was a foundation stone built into the brick that said the school was built in 1908 and I thought it was a pity it didn't make its centenary. I agree, it was a piece of vandalism to demolish it and thought it a shame that the facade might have been adapted or recycled like some city centre buildings. Yes, I can remember right back to the ...see more
I think this was the year my dear Uncle Jim Crawford died and left my Auntie Isa and my two cousins Helen and Isobel.....all very dear to us in memory. We used to visit them in Polmeur Road, cannot remember the number but it was an end house. My cousin, Isobel, used to take us to the swings and we went to the dances in Kirkconnel. In the afternoon we would start getting ready and wear rollers in our hair with a scarf ...see more
I lived at South Africa Lodge with my brother Gerald and left in 1963 to join the Navy. Always remember playing cricket in the evening with Mr Liddle and all the other children whether we liked cricket or not, but we did have fun. Didn't like having to walk to Complain School everyday though.
I was six years old (cannot remember much before) but later bonfire night squabbles with new villagers, swinging over blackies on ropes, riding carriages on railways was all fun. Spike itself was a fantastic village to live in. First we lived at 7 The Crescent then moved up to old village though cannot remember the number, we lived next door to Pat Frost. I went to Spike School then up to Shuttlewood by bus ...see more
I attended Ladywell Primary School from 1950 to around 1954. In those days the school was comprised of two prefab buildings running parallel with each other and separated by a cinder-covered playground. One morning, along with another boy, I was crossing this playground to reach the opposite building when Miss White, the headmistress in those days, banged on her window and summoned us both to her office. I ...see more
Having been an exiled Scot since 1966 I was rather dismayed to discover that Motherwell Central School (later known as Brandon High), which I attended in the late 1950’s, had been demolished recently. I clearly remember ‘Bluenose’ the maths teacher, who once gave me three out of a hundred for spelling my name correctly in an exam – the only thing I got right! I also remember the PT teacher, whose name ...see more
My grandmother came from Shepton Mallet and left to live in West Yorkshire. I came to live for a short while and attended school out on Charlton Road. The house I lived at was the last one on Waterloo Road at its junction with Cowl Street, just before the S&D rail viaduct.I found it to be a place to explore; having clambered up the side of the viaduct on to the side of the railway line and jumped from a stone ...see more
Have done Penmark research as my Grt Grandmother was from Penmark to - Missouri coal mines back to Sefton (pump still there, south and east of 6 Bells). It seems that there is a mix-up between Kenson Cottage and Rose & Crown Pub; R & C (I think) is the premise on south side of Kenson Bridge on the corner of main road up to village & Kenson Hill. I have photo similar to one shown with ...see more
I have a water colour painted by I assume a local artist, Liz McLean or Liz Melean? It is of a Norfolk Wagon, lot no: 539 from Forston Farm, Forston. I am guessing the whole farm was sold off as happened a lot around that time, but I am wondering if she lived on the farm or if it was her family maybe? I will put a picture on as it is a lovely little snapshot of Forston as soon as I can. If anyone has any info, it would be lovely to find out more about it.
Hi Anne who went to Mulberry Street School. I was born in 1952 and went to Gaythorn Primary School. We must have played your school at Rounders. We were Lancashire champions of 1963 and I was the bowler, having suffered many a thick lip from that hard ball! Like you, I passed for Grammar and went to Central Grammar School for girls, same as you. I was in class 1E to start off there and there were 4 Janice's in my class. I was known as Janice 4. Lovely to hear your story, though.
Hiya. My auntie was Hilda Bowcock married to Uncle Jimmy Flanagan who was the son of Mary Ellen Flanagan who lived at 52 Crown Street, Hulme. That was my grannie "Nellie". I wonder if Hilda was one of the Bowcocks you referred to?
Hiya. I watched Palden's burn down, stood next to my grannie Nellie. We were standing at the corner of Humamby Avenue, near City Road, Hulme, where my family lived. From about a mile away you could see the awful fire rage through the store and I remember the clock melting and falling. I was about 4 then. I was born in 1952 so am wondering if the fire happened around 1956.
I was lucky in that I lived in an area that was not often touched by the violence that was going on in Northern Ireland at the time, but a telephone conversation with my mum in recent days brought back memories of life in Belfast when 'the troubles' were in full swing. She had just heard the news of the recent car bomb left in the Victoria shopping centre and heard the sound of the explosion in the ...see more
My grandparents and father were born in Brentford, so armed with an address from the census and a new-found enthusiasm for family history, I made my first ever visit. I walked along the High Street and found a large supermarket and car park covered the house and its bakery at no. 237 where they lived until WW1. I was so disappointed. However over 20 years later censuses became available online and the Internet was ...see more
My family moved from Leeds, Yorks to Gilnahirk when I was 11 months old - my parents had a house built in Gilnahirk Walk and we moved in when I was two. I and my two sisters had an idyllic childhood, we had so many places to play. There was 'the tennis courts' or rather the wasteland around the courts (which belonged to the Presbyterian church) that included occasional ponds with frogspawn - we could get in ...see more

I was born in the corner grocer's shop at 8 Newport Road formerly know as 'York Stores' my father, Don Northover, used to manage it for a man called WJ Greene who also had shops at Bargoed and Abertwsswg - a very early form of Tesco's !

I remember in the 60s playing on the tall metal slide, fell off from the top. Ran home to Mam . Sprained my left arm. Happy Days..
I was born and lived in skellow until 1965, but visited my Grandfather there until the early 1990's I remember Elaine & Pat's Garage, as my grandfathar used to fill his car up there.. They were wonderful people, and my memories were always of a special "treat" of a bar of chocolate from the little wooden "shed" they had by the pumps. I remember them building their bungalow there. Happy days.
I was the hairdresser from 1969 until 1980 due to the closure, I loved my job at the hospital.
Hi Robin. Just surfing the web here in Canada and came across you ! Often wondered how you and Brian were. I did stoke those boilers too, and served petrol. Mum and Dad moved to Tiverton, and later I remember your Mum in the little shop in Hospital Street. Can even remember your Wolseley DNF 996 !!.Getting ancient now but the memories remain.
My mother Kath (Shepheard) lived in Grt Arthur St in Smethwick from 1930 until the late 1950 and remembers playing in the street with her mates. Ivor Coley, Olga Dubberly, William Pritchard, Horris Richards. Evans corner shop and Miss Jennings and the greengrocers Lavells.
I, Helen Blake and my sister Carolyn moved with our parents Eileen and Arthur Blake to South Hill Cottages, next door to what was then the Post Office in Downderry run by Mrs Harris. Mrs Harris retired and the post office moved to our front room and my mother became the post mistress. My aunt, Kitty Sims was the post lady for many years having served an apprenticeship as the petrol pump lady at the garage that ...see more
I have lived on and off in the same house on "the New Estate" in Merstham since 1952. I remember Burrows Grocery Shop in Portland Drive and the brothers would go around in their large van to the "new estate" where people could buy their groceries. I always thought this was very forward thinking of them to drum up business. It was very convenient too. A few other businesses did this. Later ...see more
Went to Church Minshull School 1940 -44.Two classes two teachers.Miss Upson And Miss Potts (Lottie) Education was probably basic but we learned our 3Rs Lotties sister was the post "man" and must have had a very large route to cover on her byke. Miss Upson and Miss Potts I suppose fostered a little German refugee Miriam Rosenberg I shared a garden with her,often wonder what happened to her.My ...see more
My Grandad Alfie Brown built a lot of the houses along the Havant Road. Lower Farlington Road, First Avenue, we lived at 396 Havant Road and I have happy memories of those days in the fifties when we went to Solent Road School , I especially remember going to the scout hut for a party to celebrate the coronation of our Queen. Farlington and the church will always hold special memories for me .
I moved with my parents to a cottage on the Ongar Chelmsford road. The cottage, subsequently named Wythams was located between High Ongar and Norton Heath and between Chevers Hall farm and Cousens Farm. I often walked across the fields to a beautiful church at Norton Mandeville (where years later I got married). A few hundred metres to the West of the church (and the so-called model farm opposite) was the ruin of a ...see more
I was born in 1952. My Mum and Dad were brought up in Weymouth and although they moved to Gloucestershire after the war, all four grandparents remained in Weymouth. So the whole family, which included my three sisters, would catch the train from Stroud or Stonehouse and spend the entire long school holiday in Weymouth, first with one set of Grandparents in Old Castle Road, then with the other, in ...see more
I was a boarder at St Peter's Court from the age of 6 to 10. My father worked on the oil fields in Iraq and because of my age we got special permission for me to board during the civil war there. My two eldest brothers, Chris (deceased) and Wally also attended. Just after I arrived, Humphrey Fenn's mother passed away. Due to my age I was given her small room which got me away from the elder boy's for a ...see more

I am looking for the living descendants of the little known Victorian print-seller and art dealer George Love (1804-1883) of 81 Bunhill Row in Finsbury, London.
His son William Francis Love (d.1912) married Alice Buttery from Finsbury in 1883.
William Francis Love moved to Surrey with his wife and had 3 children:

DULWICH.. the Canadian Infantry had it during WW1, yes Kingswood, dont get confused with the village of the same name in Surrey please.. I know when my mother had a business in Dulwich on the council estate it was Kingswood Estate, guess the massive house was demolished!
