For many years now, we've been inviting visitors to our website to add their own memories to share their experiences of life as it was, prompted by the photographs in our archive. Here are some from Mangotsfield
Sparked a Memory for you?
If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?
Forgot to mention that in those days there was Jones Fish and Chips, opposite the school. My mum cleaned and peeled potatoes and I would press the potatoes into chips with a hand press over a grid thus making chips when you pulled down the handle. There was also a butcher( Mr Garfield) and the crown hotel, now gone. In the village was a garage, a cobbler and a police station of sorts. Life was so simple and we all new everybody. Alas, those days are gone. Mike Castle
The reason for writing is to mention some facts about life in Mangotsfield in the forties and fifties. After I was born I lived in no 32 Northcote road. My neighbors were Mr Hammond, Mr Isles, Mr Fry, Mr Britton, Mrs Spires and Mr Pitman. The owner of the Lamb Inn was Mr Spratman. The local shop was Mr Reeves. The Red Lion was Mr Meredith.There was an haberdashery run by Mrs Franklin and a hairdresser run by Mr Titchbond. ...see more
