My family has had a long association with Dymchurch since the 1890s, first at Barn House and later at Grantchester Cottage in Sycamore Gardens. Six of my family are buried in the churchyard and two are named on the war memorial. I first visited aged 7 in 1946, have done so ever since and have met the welcoming new owners.
I have very fond memories notably the massive clean sandy beach, picnics and ...see more
Hi, I lived on the Oxmoor estate, No.61 Thongsley. Ken and Ann, Vera and Joe Padian, Lilly and Paddy, if you are still living there and remember me I would love to hear from any of you. Please contact me If anyone knows these people and knows of their whereabouts I will be greatfull to hear from you. Best wishes, Beryl Clark also known as Babs.
I used to live in Huntington, on the Oxmoor estate. We used to go to the dances held at the air base - they was really great. The American airman was based there before going to Vietnam, they done low flying over the estate and when they broke the sound barrier our windows shook. There was also testing the rockets - what a noise! Still, got used to it so never bothered us. I moved back to London but I had four ...see more
My great grandfather, James David Smith, owned the lease of this hotel from 1889 to 1896 when he moved with his family back to Govan. The hotel was demolished in 2011 and there are only three old photos showing James from another web site, but I am looking for anyone whose relatives may have either worked there, or had any memories of their parents talking about it, or anything that may help my scrapbook of the Smith family's time in Oban.
I've lived in Holbeach all my life and mum and dad owned a grocers shop in the High Stree,t it was called Ritchies. I remember sitting on the steps out side the shop with my sister writing down all the car numbers, we saw we spent many hours out there. I also have wonderful memories of going to the pictures with my best friend Ena Pack on a Saturday afternoon, we are still the closest friends happy days.
About this time my sister would be 7 and I was 9. We used to swim in Sunbury outdoor pool. Never thought of cold or even fear, because one day we crossed weir as the bridge was down - how I was told off by mummy! We lived in Walton and walked along the tow-path and I believe at that time there were 'naturists' there! Only remember good days in Sunbury with all the children from Fairfax Close. Good to see photos and the new pool.
I remember going hop picking when I was a child. My Grandmother's cottage, one of the cottages called Holly Cottages, ran into the hop garden at the end of the fosel, so we were very lucky as we could go up to my grandmother's for a drink or to use the washroom whenever we wanted. If it rained we would go up to her cottage and wait for the rain to stop before heading back down to the hop garden.
Did you go to Backwell C of E school and live in the area in the 50-60? Please if you did I would love to hear from you and your memories. My name was Jackie Dunn.

As a girl i lived in Ruislip, but, having passed the 11+, went to Notting Hill and Ealing high school, travelling by bus every day. The school was in Cleveland Road, from the art room you could look over the wall of St Davids home and see war casualties in their wheelchairs and beds taking the air in the garden. Horrifying so many years since the war ended.
When it was too foggy - those of us who had come by bus ...see more

I was only fourteen, and wanted to be a nurse. I went to see Matron *trembles* and asked if I could do some voluntary work, which she allowed me to do for a couple of hours after school once or twice a week.

I helped the nursing staff with everything from bed baths to dressings and many other ...see more

I can remember one particular outing to Coate Water and being ...see more
I remember when we lived on Devon Street facing the old All Saints school, they built the new school at the end of the street.

My father would take his holidays towards the end of the summer and we had the house to ourselves. We rock climbed, went winkling, saw the women in their bonnets sitting outside cottages doors, we went fishing (Dad at ...see more
My father was the minister of Redhill Baptist Church, known as the Tabernacle (extreme right of picture) until it was pulled down in the late 1950s and a new church built on Hatchlands Road.

Before the show started Mr. Richie the ...see more
I remember the model shop in the Grove. There was a model 00 gauge train that went round when you placed a penny in the slot. When you were in the shop you could see the train come in and go around the track under the glass counter. I remember the engine was a GWR pannier tank. I thing the make was Gaiety, which was a short lived company based in Birmingham after the war. It was a treasure trove, flexible ...see more
Does anyone remember the El Cid? It was opposite Sainsburys, which was next to John Sanders department store. It was very similar to a Wimpy bar. We used to go there on Sunday evenings, after St Thomas youth club finished in Hanwell on the Boston Road. What a pleasant time we spent in there, it was just right after the youth club. I remember Ruth Hamment and Graham Trotter from the youth club going there. I think it is now a Subway.
I remember the Roxy Theatre well. I grew up in Mapperton Road just up from the Roxy. I attended Barkerend School leaving in 1959. We also used to let our mates in through the back door after one of us buying a ticket. They were great childhood memories. Another memory is the bonfires on Guy Fawkes night.

You used to go to a phone box and send a telegram to your valentine. To pay you put the amout the operator said into the slot in the box. If you were lucky when you got home your mum said something like, "There is a telegram for you, whats happened?" This was because telegrams were used in the war to convey bad news. I remember leaving St Thomas youth club around 2100HRS, on a wet night, with Ruth under my umbrella in the rain and cold. We were so happy in those far off days.

I was in the Army in 1966 when I was fortunate to be posted to Morfa Camp. It was the Army Outward Bound School then and catered mainly for Junior Leaders.

We were a very small team and our 'boss' was a man called Eddie Davis. I have to say that ...see more
My name is Jennie Hazard my maiden name was Sephton, I was at Quarry Mount when I was 13 in 1942. I originated from Southport.

My main memory was the shire horses that Mr. Wilson had to plough his ...see more
I lived in the hamlet Ledwell near to Radford . I and another boy Edmund Wilson and I became Day pupils at this school until it closed in about 1953/4. My lasting memory was the daily after lunch walks along the roads under the escort of one of the nuns. I also remember the dancing around the M aypole on the tennis court.
I remember playing football outside our house on Primrose Hill with a police man when we heard a loud rumbling noise. We noticed dust clouds rising behind the last two houses on the street, we ran to my house and went to the back yard door and we saw the last two houses had collapsed into the Leeds Liverpool canal. Shortly after this we were moved to Higher Croft esate were I spent most of my teenage years. I am not sure about the year, it could be a year or two either way.
William Evans was my great great grandfather - his daughter was married to my great grandfather Ishmael Roberts. She was disowned by her family for marrying him.

This enabled us to travel by train to Yarmouth Vauxhall and ...see more

I was born at 119 Park Street, Heytesbury in 1942; this was/is the last cottage on the right-hand side of the old A36 as you leave the village travelling towards Knook.

My girlfriend, Edna Thorley, and I were in the queue at the Odeon cinema in Crewe, she was on leave from the ATS. As we waited the subject of marriage came up; no I didn't go down on one knee. I think I said something like, 'don't you think we ought to think about getting married?' She thought for a while and then said, 'yes why not'. We married on July 13th 1946 in St Barnabas Church in West St. We had 56 wonderful years together, so 13 was not unlucky for us.
My parents married at Westfield church in 1951. My grandparents worked at Westfield Place, in service for Lady Newton.

The days when you could let your children out to play and not worry. We used to sneak up in the hole in the fence to play in the big oak tree that sits above the shelter. It was our camp and was called the Five Oaks. We took food and drink, pinned pictures on the tree it was great We used to spy on Old Mr George Woodford when he was walking down to the farm. We had hours of fun playing there with not a worry in the world, other than the fear of getting caught by Mr Woodford.
Great times.

We have run Bank Villa as a comfortable and relaxing B&B since 2002. Dr Dodd's son has stayed with us and shared his memories. The property is listed so looks very much the same today. Guests love exploring the nooks and crannies of the interior. Many of features can be dated back to the days when there was live in staff.
I grew up in Chelsea Manor Buildings in the 1960s-1970s. I have such fond memories of shopping with my mum in the Kings Road queuing for bread in Mrs Beatons on a Sat and shopping in Johns the grocers in flood street.

Our school, Park Modern Secondary, was situated in Barking Essex just outside of the east end of London. Each year, we had school camp at Sweets farm on the top of Dundry Hill, where we would camp for two weeks. We were told repeatedly by our teachers that we were over 600 feet above sea level (why, I'll never know but it seemed important to them) and we soon found out how high that was because we walked everywhere and ...see more
I fell in love with Mousehole back in 1970 when I came across it quite by accident.

We would normally turn left out of LowLee and make for Sennen Cove which was our favourite beach. On this particular day we went right from LowLee and along the coast road which ...see more
I was born in the house right opposite this shop, there was a butchers next door to our house. I remember the shop when it was owned by Mr Stevens in 1946.
