The Barley Mow, we went up there for my sister's hen night, and ended up at the caravan park down Green Lane. I have just visited it, well last year actually, and didn't realize it was such a lovely park, I just remember it being very dark and cold. It is very well run caravan site, with fishing, and from all accounts was a school, they still have a huge lake, with a walkway in the middle ...see more
My mother was born at 5 Quality Street in 1944, her name is Sheila Morris. Does anyone have any memories of this area or photos? Thanks.
My family, the Lees, lived at New Moors although the houses are long gone. If anyone has any photos of the area we would love to see them. My father's uncle Billy Lee is still alive and now in his 90s and would love have some info. Thanks.
Lynne Adamson, was Bowles.
I was born at St Hilliers, Carlshalton and lived in Pelham Road for the first 5 years. I started school at 4 in Pelham Road School. Then we moved to Mayfield Road and I went to Dundonald School. We moved away in 1961 in the London overspill scheme. I still am homesick after 50 years and go back whenever I can. We get the train and go to the theatre. I love just walking around, looking at the houses our family ...see more
We were taken from Leicester on a Sunday School Outing to the Zoo Park. I have very little recollection of the place as I was quite little at the time! I do remember that we were given 'high tea' for which we were offered a choice of fish and chips or ham salad. I also remember being bought an embroidered badge which had on it a picture of a tiger with Wellingborough Zoo Park emblazoned across the ...see more
I lived in Sanderstead up until 1968 then worked for the forces with the NAAFI. I came home in 1972 then came to Canada. I came upon this site accident. I used to live behind the Sanderstead fire station. My father Jo Germaney retird as sub officer after 25 years, then went back in the merchant navy
I moved to Nelson in 1962 aged 3 with my mother, father and brother from Rhydfelin, near Pontypridd. We lived in Tawelfan until 1970 when we moved to the dreaded England because my dad got a job in London. I remember nostalgically what the earlier contibutor Denise wrote about, including her mention of the three teachers at Llanfabon School, Mrs Carlick, Miss Edwards and Miss Evans, three of the ...see more
I was born in Brook Street, Brown Lees, within the civil parish of Biddulph. The village is situated about half a mile north of the site of the former Biddulph Valley Ironworks and the Brown Lees and Victoria Collieries, where many of the residents would have worked in the past. The Ironworks ceased in the 1920s and coal mining finished in 1982. I went to school in 1938 at Knypersley, walking through the ...see more
I was 11 years old in 1965 and had moved to Wetherby in 1963. I walked around Bernards store several times. The shop across the side street from Bernards Store was a small Newsagent. The lampost in front of it was the pick up point for Tadcaster Grammar School pupils school bus. When this photograph was taken I was a pupil at Wetherby High School, but from 1970 I went to Tadcaster Grammar School and was ...see more
This, I believe, is me as an 8-year-old shopping. This road is now so busy you can hardly get across it. The pub in the background has gone and so has the shop I am walking towards. At the time of this photo there were 5 shops, a butchers, a baker's, two pubs and a garage. Now there are two shops and a pub.
I spent many happy hours here, and our house was just up the road from here so I didn't have far to go and have great fun.
I am researching my husband's family tree and have found out that his great-great-grandfather John Kyte was the innkeeper of The Black Horse Pub in 1901 (listed on the Census for that year). He was a widower at that time, his wife was Isabella (nee Neate). His son, Eglon Sylvanus Kyte, was my husband's great-grandfather. My husband's gran, Edith Naome Kyte, Eglon's a Edith's daughter, died in July 2010 in Long ...see more
I am researching my family history and found that my great-grandfather John Futtit was a pupil and boarder at the Besthorpe boys' school, the family had moved from Askern to Cottam in Nottinghamshire to farm, but even though John was born in Askern his life was spent in Cottam, but his father sent him to private school in Askern.
At this time Askern was a spa village I gather and was quite famous for people taking the water, but the coming of the coal Mmne changed the dynamics of the village.
I remember visiting my Aunty Pat and all my cousins, they lived at the top of Wellhall Road just down from the old pictures opposite them. She had lots of girls, some blond, and one son, David or Michael I think, their dad was a Scotsman. My mum was Sheila Gillespie, she was born in that house and all her sisters, Maureen, Bertha, and Eileen. She went to Gordon School. Their dad was called John ...see more
I was a bakery student at Wrexham Tech. in the early 1960s and worked two holiday jobs in Rhyl. The first was at a bakery run by a Polish baker and he had a real Vienna oven, baked lovely crispy bread! The second was at Harry Brereton's bakery which had a shop out front that was also a grocers run by his brother. The foreman we always called 'Tubby' (he was thin)! . We worked very early mornings and long hours but I ...see more
I attended the Bakery Department Denbighshire Tech. from 1960 to 1962. Mr Nash and Mr Hawkins were the tutors. I went to the Tech rather than getting a job in a bakery because my Youth Employment officer said I was too small for bakery work and needed to gain weight and strength!
I won the Burton cup and the Renshaw cup during my time there. I can remember all my classmates but not all their names! Tom Dooley ...see more
I remember when I was a young lad, playing down Johnnas Bank, we used to play Duffers "Dares", like jumping the widest part of the burn, seeing how many friends would fit on a swing and swing across the burn, sometimes the rope snapped. And we would dare each other to sit on the Devils Chair in the Low Dean, we used to climb and sit on the flat part, and someone would say "The Devil will get you", which was very ...see more
Can anyone emember my grandad, Harold Brook of Coalburn, he was a hairdresser?
I remember my parents swinging me between them along a fir tree'd lane to the sea, singing 'Sailor Boy-oh'.
We were camping at a site run by a man called 'Roly' (Rowlandson perhaps). Imagine my parents' delight at camping under the stars after the Blitz and London. Their happy memories stayed with them always.
And I remember my first experience of the smell of the pine trees - I was three!
My uncle used to live in Cranborne Avenue, Tolworth. We would visit and all troop across the fields - many with remains of war time crashed bombers etc. - to the delightful Bonesgate Pub. Happy days!
I worked at the butchers, Rotherhams, delivering meat on a bike. My wife workd at Laidlers the chemist. Does anyone have any photos, or any info on when Waugh Bakery started and where?
I was raised in Broadway during the 1920s and 1930s. I had an idyllic childhood with freedom to explore the surrounding countryside including free access to the tower. I went to the village school and was in the church choir. Part of my job as choirboy was to walk alongside the wooden bier carrying coffins at funerals, particularly those of children who had died. It made me feel terribly unhappy. Sadly, ...see more
I lived in Wigpool after the Second World War with my new wife and baby son. There were no proper roads to the village, just mud tracks which became impassable in the winter for vehicles. This meant we had to buy our coal in the summer and store it - if we ran out we had to burn wood. We had no bathroom and no flushing toilet. There was no running water either. We had a well a good couple of ...see more
My friend lived at the Queens Head pub shown in the Bell Street photo, when we were cold and hungry we used to go to the Bank Chip shop (just out of shot at the top right of the picture, on the curve of the road opposite the pub), we never bought anything, we had a portion of scratchings (batter bits) in newspaper with lots of salt and vinegar for free!
Early memory of my Father-in-law Maurice Garvey was of Monica Sullivan. He missed getting in contact with her when she was back in the UK 6 or so years ago. He is currently in Australia and would love to contact her. If you can help contact me on copycatsmossman@bigpond.com
This is what I know about my late aunt, Miss Margaret J.A. Urquhart,( 1898 -1977).
Miss Urquhart spent 39 years nursing. When she retired, Miss Urquhart was Superintendent in the Domiciliary Service of the National Public Health for the County of Angus. Apparently the domiciliary service came into being with the nationalisation of the health services in 1948. Miss Urquhart supervised a staff of ...see more
The one and only time Ive been to Swanage was in 1959, when my friend Judith and I were sent on a Social Christian Movement Holiday! Neither of us were very religeous, but had mums who thought we should be. I cant remember much about it, except that we stayed in a Church Hall, that had a stone floor. We were given palliases (we didnt know what they were either) to fill with straw, when we first arrived and showed ...see more
Wasn't this an indoor swimming pool?
I lived in Ryder Street, my maiden name was Healey. I have two brothers, Ry and Alf . My mam used to go to the wash house. My brothers used to go to the old St James and I used to go there before I went to the new one, I can't remember how old I was but I remember we moved to a new house in Miles Platting, for how long I don't know, then we moved to 51 Kingsley Crescent, Collyhurst Flats. Most of our family ...see more
The Seven Stars pub & Mr Kiplings across the road, just before the dip into Apperley Bridge.
I was probably in my last year in 1972 sitting in a class room at Ysgol Hirraddug when the rocks rained down. The explosion, at the time, did not seem that dissimilar to a normal explosion but within seconds everything changed. Like Andrew said, there was a slow motional downfall of rocks, some of which bounced between the H-shaped school buildings and from memory smashed through some of our classroom ...see more
One of My Employments of Yesteryear:
Did you know that this public house has a corner where George Elliot used to write some of her famous books?
Situated right opposite the War Memorial and next door to where Harry Swallow, who I believe was the head master of Witley School.
I used to work there as a waitress in the 1950s and loved being part of Arthur Newland's team...a great boss to work for.
I remember sitting on top of this tank as a kid.
I can remember my nan coming over to the school and passing me and my sister sweets through the fence at playtime. She lived in a cottage opposite the school. I also remember the great Guy Fawkes Night over by the pond and the hot potatoes, and taking wood and sticks over and throwing them on the bonfire to see how big it could get!
Domenic Reitzo was the model for this soldier. Born around 1860, he was an Italian immigrant who lived in the Lambeth area of London. He was a popular model for painters and sculpters at the Lambeth School of Art.
I was at Pantasaph 1961 - 1963. Sister Catherine was in charge of the group next door to ours. Sister Xavier was in charge of our group. We used to think those in Sister Catherine`s group were lucky as she really was kind and gentle, although very small had a big, caring heart. The other nuns, unfortunately, were not really suited to caring for children but were probably given this role by their superiors. Can ...see more
I was a pupil when the school first opened and at that time it was known as Baildon County Secondary School West Lane. Three of my happiest years were spent at this school where the staff dedicated much of their time to extra curricular activities including football, cricket, athletics, cross country and many more sports. Especially enjoyable was a whole variety of outward bound pursuits lead by Mr Cogan who took ...see more
I was born at what was then no 5 Chain Terrace in 1935. My name then was Arthur O'Hara. My surname has since been changed to Harrow. The photo of Chain Terrace in this site shows the house that I was born in (I think), with the school straight across the road. I moved from there with my parents and brother Gordon to the cottage at the entrance to Cassencary where my mother worked in the big house and my ...see more
My family lived in Hillcrest Road, South Woodford from 1960 to 1973. I had a very very happy childhood there (am still happy though) but had to move to Brighton to attend a deaf school and to avoid the need to continue as a school boarder (after 5 years). Looking at the photos just brings everything back! The Majestic (Saturday morning club), the Vauxhall garage, the dentist (Mr Lambert) ...see more
I lived in the mansions from 1951-1960. Does anyone remember them? I went to Leo Street School. And I went to the Regal cinema every Sunday afternoon in the Old Kent Road.
I was a student nurse at Lord Mayor Treloars from January 1962 until January 1964. Those two years orthopaedics were affiliated with other hospitals which allowed us to start training before 18 which was the minimum age for General Nursing commencement, when the students moved on the 3 year general training was reduced to two years.
The hospital was a very happy place because many of the patients were long ...see more
My father, Kenneth Hollingsworth, took over the headship of the school in 1951 and I spent the happiest of childhood years both at the school and in and around the village. I particularly remember Coronation Day when the school was filled with television sets so that the whole community could gather together to watch and celebrate. We had a fancy dress parade when I was dressed as Queen of ...see more
In 1959 I moved with my mother and father from Portsmouth to Sunnyhill in Derby, an adventure at my age of only 10 years. My father was in the Ministry of Defence Police, and we settled into an address called Sunnyhill Camp, an address that ran parallel to Sunnyhill Avenue. The camp was completely derelict, and consisted of row after row of old army huts over a very large area. The houses were all Police married ...see more
I remember the beach-like atmosphere at Bourne brook off Brook End, Fazeley in the summer months (early to mid 1970s). Whole families would sit and watch their children swim in the brook. I learned to swim and fish here.
I also remember the dams to increase the water height.
Favourite memories regarding Bourne brook include riding down the brook on truck tyre inner tubes from the canal viaduct at ...see more
I've read your harrowing account of the abuse inflicted on you, and your siblings, by THE SISTERS OF CHARITY OF OUR LADY OF MERCY with immense sadness. Please read my email message on your Francis Frith personal account.
This picture named Redhill Hospital 1908 is in fact the porter's lodge at the main entrance. When I nursed there in the 1970s we all called it "Rose Cottage" as apart from housing the switchboard and the porter's lodge it also housed the Pathology lab and the mortuary! Rose Cottage is a fairly often used term for a mortuary in a lot of hospitals. So if you hear a nurse or doctor say "They will soon be going to Rose ...see more
I can remember many happy holidays at Bacon, staying at a caravan site (I can't remember which one). At the site shop there was an Alsatian dog called Elva, I suppose she was the guard dog. I loved climbing down the steps etched out of the cliffs, to the wonderful sandy beach below. I would fish for shrimps, and enjoyed the white sand and swimming in the sea. For our tea, Mum, Dad and I would walk to ...see more
My children attended the Shipley School, having only a total of around 50 pupils it was a very family orientated school. Mrs. Slack was the headmistress at the time, a lady who loved the pupils and the school, she even undertook training the football team, not an easy task for a woman to take on.
The summer fete was something to behold, every parent was involved in making, creating and helping with ...see more
I was evacuated to Barnacre, in 1941, in a little house called Mons Villa, close to Shaws Farm, and my foster carers were Ruth and Chris Townson, I was there for a year. I went to Calder Vale primary school during that year, along with my younger brother, I was then 7 yeas old and he was 5 years old. Every Sunday we went to the Methodist chapel in Calder Vale. I remember the Corless family, Sylvia, Bill and ...see more
I was born in this lovely village but moved when I was about 3 years old. My great-grandmother Dorothy Thomas lived in Ty Llwyd, a small cottage on the road facing the sea front. I remember looking out of the window at night across to Llanstephan castle. My grandmother Barbara Powell used to be the dinner lady in the village school, many years ago she and my grandfather looked after the yacht club. I know ...see more
I went to that school from September 1939 till December 1945. Can anyone remember the awful smelling oil based smoke screens that were the other side of Bath road during the war years. My maiden name was Davies. Would love to hear from anyone who remembers me.
From what I can remember a very good library. I lost a lot of my course work when it burned down. I had been finishing my essays off and forgot to pack them in my bag before leaving to retire to the Corinthian. This was the days before computers and saved electronic data. These went up in flames with the rest of the library. I got my extension but my tutor said it was the best lie he had heard for late esays for a decade.
Eeh! Remember potted meat? You could eat it as it was or put it on bread for a sandwich, where is it now? Then there was dripping which was quite solid and spread like margarine on your bread for sandwiches. I worked in Leeds on the university in the late 1960s and early 1970s and when I got there I never had digs, my pal Tommy Bishop from the west end was with me so I called to see my Aunt Lilly and Uncle Jack who ...see more
I lived in Hepworth for 26 years, it broke my heart to move away, there are so many memories there for me; first the church I was christened in 1970, confirmed there in 1986 and was in the choir for many years, me and my best friend Lucy Stoker. My grandma is buried there and many friends. I go and visit as often as possible, I love that church. Now for my school memories I absolutely adored going to ...see more
I was born at Rose Farm in 1949 & moved to Norwich in 1964. My father farmed in Besthorpe for over 30 years. My first school was the chapel school in Hargham Road Attleborough and my teacher was Mrs. Richmond. When I was 8 years old I attended Attleborough junior and the head mistress was Miss Greenacre. She was lovely. I remember Miss Fox & Mrs. Dennis teaching there. I then went to ...see more
Born in 1951, I lived in Lechlade, Ledbury, Highworth, Oldtown, Cunningham Road and I lived on Penhill Drive in the late 1950s.
I went to Downshall Infants and Primary up to the age of 12 when I then went to Ilford Country High in Gants Hill. I remember the daily walk along Meads Lane calling for a sour grapes gob stopper that would dye our mouths dark purple. The school seemed so big and when I look at this photo it looks like something out of Dickens! Miss Backhouse was my infants teacher and in the primary I had a wonderful ...see more
I was a 10 year old lad living at the Alexandra Inn now known as the Hungry Fox pub. Being a keen rail fan then and as now, wandering around the station and the platforms watching trains was a regular past time. Of course I used it when we went to Exeter or on one of my many trips back to London. Sad it is all gone.
I believe this is a photograph of me, James Ernest Thomas Massey, being pushed in my pram by my father Ernest James Massey, and mother Rosina Massey, towards our home above Dolcis shoe shoe at 5 Burleigh Way, Enfield Middlesex, sometime in the first year of my life. God Rest their souls.
I was born on Albert Street in 1936, so I have seen a few changes in Featherstone, I still live on Albert Street, I don't think I could live anywere else! Just a few houses down, nearer Station Lane, Station Lane was a lovely shopping place you could buy anything from paraffin and nails (Haikings) to food and fashshion, now it's all take-aways, Chinese and Indian, when I was a kid it was Mrs Good's fish shop, ...see more
I have in my possession a lead etching of Drip Bridge near Stirling exhibited at the Royal Scottish Academy in 1924 by John G math__g (or s)on. The handrighting is difficult. Could you do some research or advise me where to go to get more information? My father acquired it when he was in England during the war. any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Heather
We lived at the bottom of Chapelton village, our house facing Chapelton station. When the elvers were due, Dad used to put a pillow case,at the end of a wooden clothes line post, and they swam up the river in columns, and Mother would fry them. You don't get many of them up here in the Midlands.
My mum Eileen Ardern, nee Clark, was born at 59 Notley Road, Braintree in 1925. She married my dad Roy in 1944 and shortly afterwards moved north to Altrincham in Cheshire. She would dearly love to hear from Peggy Potter (age 84), from East Street, Braintree. Peg worked at Courtaulds and her father worked at Crittalls. Later he moved to Chelmsford. Also she would like news of Len Wisbey who lived at Rifle ...see more
My earliest memory of Small Heath was when we lived in Herbert Road at 3/97 and then I was evacuated to a small village near Ross-on-Wye during the war years. The Secondary Modern school I went to was in Oakley Road. My best teacher was Miss Mobbs. She was very strict but I learned a lot from her. At that time I was living in Cooksey Road in a terraced house with my parents. The house number was ...see more
Does anybody there remember this company (S C Cummins) who built ice cream vans, and was Martin Street where the new shopping centre is in Earle Street?
Happy days.
In addition to those aleady mentioned, I seem to recall that there was a Miss Fennel in one of the shops, and a Mr.Edgar Davis and his wife Joan (nee Cards) They lived on the edge of the aerodrome at Middle Wallop I lived in Broughton, next door to Mrs Cards and Leslie, Joan's brother. When the schools amalgamated during the war,there waere several Clarks came to Broughton, and the boys from the "Five ...see more
I used to visit my aunt and uncle who live in Longparish, we went there for our holidays, their names were Oswald and Ellen Warwick. They live in Northacre at number 4. We used to visit the local farm and try to catch the rabbits as they ran from the harvester, we never caught any, they were too quick. The old public house was called the Freehouse but we never got any free lemonade, we never understood why!
This is the church that I was christened in and my older sister was married in, it was just down the road from where I lived in Carshalton Road. I also went to Sunday School there. It was a beautiful old church. Sadly I have not been there for a long time, but now I have seen the photo I will make an effort to visit.
My memories of Manor Park were that on a Saturday morning we used to go to the Granada cinema for Saturday morning pictures. The cinema was right next to the park and we used to go in the park on our way home. I lived in Carshalton Road. My grandfather's name is on the war memorial in the park and also my uncle's name is on there, they both died in the First World War. I have wonderful memories of the years ...see more
When I was a child my dad and mum took my brother on holidays to my grandparents' house in Cherhill, the house was called Holly Mount. W loved going to stay in the village. From the bedroom window we could see the hill where the white horse and monument was. We used to go for long walks around Cherhill. I wonder if anyone remembers my grandparents when they lived there, their surname was Scott. My aunty Kath also ...see more
I'd like to ask if anyone knows of a brush factory in Cam which must date back about 100 years or more. I have a clothes brush which is in perfect condition and bears the title "WORKMAN Bros. Ltd. Cam. Glos."
This brush was in my grandmother's possession and I have an idea that she was somehow connected or related to the maker. As I am now 83 years old, the brush is probably 100 years old or more. Can ...see more
I remember my nan taking me to meet Mrs Hughes the headmistress of John Burns Primary on Wycliffe Road, Battersea, the school is now flats. I also remember being in a school play with the famous actor Tim Spall.
We lived at 115 Beaufoy Road until 1969 when we moved onto the York Road estate, a block of flats called Chesterton House on Ingrave Street. I also remember a film being made with the late Oliver Reed, ...see more
I was born here on 10/11/1946, my parents were Mr Norman Charles Manley and Mrs Winafred Ann Manley, we moved to Westwell in 1950.
Upwell Norfolf was the home of my husband's ancestor Charles Overland (1817-1908).
We recently visited Upwell and saw the church and a tombstone of a George Overland but could find no more. Memories were passed down over the years and Charles Overland (1935-) named his very successful bus company Upwells Ltd here in Ontario, Canada.
The George may have been a son.
When living in Reading, my family spent most of our holidays in Swanage. At the time we had little money and had to put up with chalets in residents' gardens. I'm sure, some were converted garages! We found Studland Bay (now known as "Knoll Beach"). In those days most of Purbeck was owned by the Bankes family, who, fortunately, left it to the National Trust. One year, we were able to ...see more
or thereabouts.
Blackcurrant picking somewhere in the Drayton area, the smell of them today knocks 60 years off my age. Used to go fruit-picking during the Summer holidays with Janet Basham who lived on Highland Road, Taverham. A full day of picking for possibly ?2/- , hot, dusty and tired but after a wash and tea it would be down to the Red Lion to hang around eyeing up the older lads or, on a Saturday, ...see more
My grandfather, Gerard Murgatroyd, was born in a house in Knutsford called "The Sycamores" in 1879. I live in Montreal and my father died in 1949 when I was two. My grandfather died before my parents met and there was no love lost between my mother and her mother-in-law. As a result I had virtually no information about my father's side of the family. A cousin on my mother's side is the family genaeologist and told ...see more
I can remember going daily to Woody Point to play ,and Marjorie Archibald's horses, Flash and Storm...and the 2 wee ponies at Woody Point, Taffy and Percy.. .great days we had, me and Christine Tyrie, building our houses in the trees. I left Bonkle to go to Braedale in 1965 and had great times there. Being one of nine we were always kept busy, down the burn, at the water swings, and up at the old slag bing.

Happy youthful days at the Forge Restaurant, in Kent. Happiest days of my life....more later....lovely place. Living in a 16th. Century converted Smithy was a blast. Stay tuned...also looking for any of the "guys," who worked there with Alastair and Jack... Anybody remember us please contact Alastair at alastairbarnett@shaw.ca (Canada) Many thanks.
“I’ll have a very large J&B on the rocks,” the distinguished gentleman gave me his order. “And easy on the rocks,” he added. I hurried off to the bar and returned with the glass of Scotch. Dana Andrews looked up and smiled. “You’re new around here, aren’t you?” he said. “What’s your name?” “Alastair,” I replied. “Do I detect a Scottish accent?” “You do sir,” I replied. “I’m from Perthshire.” He ...see more
