The pub further down on the right in Bore St is, I believe, the George 4th owned as part of Lichfield Brewery, which belonged to, George Barnes family. George was born in 1838 and at one time was High Sheriff of the city, and his second wife was my great grandmother, Emma Elizabeth Spencer, Foden Barnes.

My name is Shaun Scully, we moved to 34 Gotherage Lane in 1964 when I was four, I used to play on the field near our house and the other kids knew about the Giants Table, I have forgotten all about this for 50 years! I think it was some sort of pylon-type structure over in the distance, what vivid imaginations we had.. I remember two friends, Graham and his little sister Maxine.(hope I remembered correctly). I went to ...see more
I remember the Chichester Festival Theatre opening in 1962. I went to see several plays there over the years. One I remember well was The Royal Hunt of the Sun.
Later, in the early 70s I worked there for 2 years first running the bookstall and later as an usherette. I met many stars including Tony Robinson who played in a Christmas production, Follow the Star and Diana Dors who appeared in Oedipus with Keith Michelle who was the theatre director at that time.
In Ramsbottom there are lots of festivals, to remind us of the olden days and times gone by.
Ramsbottom is famous worldwide for Black Pudding throwing ,and my swimming lessons are in the local swimming pool.
From my bedroom window I can clearly see Peel Tower on Holcome hill, on Good Fridays lots of people climb to the very top and roll their Easter eggs down.
In the village at the station there is a ...see more

I remember in the 1950s, walking as a child from Greenhurst Lane where I lived, across the railway bridge, down to St Agatha's Hall, then left down the long path to the bottom of the large Village Green. At the bottom on the left was the shop run by Mr Biggs. I liked going there as I was fascinated by what I called the "bacon machine" (a bacon slicer). I was always happy to pop down if my mother wanted a ...see more

Yes it was a sort of luxury to have the outdoor pool at Norden, people would descend upon the Riviera every weekend. For me though it was short lived as we moved to Norden in 61 and it closed in 63. I think the Tannery owned the land and the lease ran out. The Tannery later used the changing rooms etc., for storage of hides.
I do remember it took ages to get into the water as it was freezing.
I remember the Watson ...see more

my parents moved to Sussex Crescent in 1954 with three young children, having been re homed from temporary housing - a prefab.

Mums would make toffee apples and potatoes would be placed round ...see more
My cousin who lives in the Shetland Islands has a pair of old oil paintings which he inherited from his father. He's trying to find out where they are from and the only clue he has is the name of the company that did the framing.
Does anyone in Ilfracombe remember a business on the High Street called E. Hill, Picture Frame Maker? He was wondering just how long ago that might have been.
Thanks so much for any "memories"!
A lot of us met our future partners there me included.There was nowhere like The Rink - we saw all the big bands of the day and even were taught to dance by Harry Waterworth,a great dancer.I would not change those years with anyone!

I remember in 1948 at age 5 years old staying at Monkham Farm with my aunt Ann Maddock and walking behind two cart horses and a single furrow plough with my cousin Deryck Maddock and the furrows being up to my knees.

Memories of Deryck milking the cows in the pitch dark barn other than the glimmer of ...see more

My family lived in Wellingborough in the 1960's. I went to Freeman's Endowed School and later to the Grammar School. We were regular attendees at All Hallows Church and I was a choirboy. At some time in the 60's (early - mid) we hosted an Italian refugee for a holiday. I think it was part of a local event. Does anyone else have any information on this?

In 1950 my mother ,Jean cairns, traveled to England to have her first baby, me. She was unmarried at that time. It wasn't until 2011 that I found where 4 grasmere court was. This was the maisonette that we lived in after my birth in kingston hill hospital. We lived there ,as far as I know, until the summer of 1951. It was through the help of a subscriber to Francis frith site that I discovered grasmere court was off verdun road. I would really love to visit Barnes and kingston hill .

My memories of this part of Church Street are probably from about 1957 , or maybe the early 60s. Wasn't there a cake shop at the top on the right, then Friars, the large furniture emporium? I seem to remember a jeweller's and clock maker's shop on the right too. On the left, there was Allendale's green grocery , I think.
In 1955 I was only 3, but I remember Church Street well , as my Mum and my Grandma shopped there every day, taking me in my pram. In those days, prams were large and people were more trusting, so babies would be left on the pavement whilst mothers went in to shops (!)
Apparently I liked to keep an eye on my relatives, so , left outside Woolworths , when a man came out and closed the door behind him, I sang out, "Open the door, Richard", ( words from a popular song) making everyone laugh.
I used to go to ballroom dancing classes in rooms above the Broadway cinema in or around 1962. I would have been 10 or 11. I learned the waltz and the quickstep, both at a very basic level.

I was so flummoxed, I forgot everything I had been taught, but he was a ...see more

In March 1954 a lovely spring day saw two new members of the Camp staff arriving at Lydd Station. Craftsman Pankhurst and Craftsman Francis.

We moved to Fullers Mead in 1953/4 just after I was born, to the house on the right hand side with the lamp post outside (just down from the bus stop) my brother was born in the house in 1955. Dad still lives there, bless him.

Whilst my brother lived just down the road in St. Mary's boys home, Boston Spa.myself & 2 sisters lived in St. Joseph's catholic girls home. This was in the late 60's.

This road was named after my great great grandad s family who were all blacksmiths and had a shop on this corner. Learned this during my family tree how fabulous this was to learn about.
These sheep are on one of the fields that made up the 200 or so acres of my fathers farm, Llandough Farm. The family were tenants from the mid 30s until the late 60s (my father died in 72)
For about 25 years they supplied the milk to the hospital shown.
If anyone is interested or has their own memories it would be nice to compare. David Thomas
We moved to Ryde Park Road in 1950, I was Margaret Thompson then, my brother was Roger, his best friends were Alan Rainbow (Ashill Road) and Loyd Canty (Ashill Road). I went to Colmers Infants until Rednal Hill was built, then at 11 went to Colmers Seniors. Left in 1963. I remember it safe to play outside at 6 years old!! I got lost at that age and ended up knocking on someone's front door in Cliff Rock Road, unheard of now
This is where the Jones family is buried, Grandad,Grandma and aunts.
