Does anyone remember Beryl Hughes (formally Collinge) married to Robert Hughes and lived in Churnet Street, Manchester up to 1965? My brothers, Robert and Glynn and sister Janine went to the Tin School and to St Oswalds church. The teachers I remember in the Tin School were; Josephine Graham and Miss Bagnall. Unfortunately, my dad died in a car accident on Talbot Road in 1965 and we ...see more
Hi everyone - new to the forum! My late dad was born in Kings College Hospital 1936 and lived at 5 Conderton Road, Camberwell. The house was bombed in 1941 and they re-settled in Harbour Road and later over to Feltham. My dad used to talk about the air raid shelter in Ruskin Park. Does anyone have any memoroes of this shelter? And also what happened to Conderton Road? Thanks, Ali.
Like the former correspondent, I remember Miss Briggs (Fanny) who took the top class. The book she read was the autobiography of Albert Schweitzer; a missionary in Africa.
Miss Briggs seemed to have eyes in the back of her head. When she was writing on the blackboard she seemed to sense if someone was misbehaving and would turn round and throw the board rubber at them. It was a 50:50 chance whether you were hit ...see more
I live in South Africa now but have memories of learning to swim in this pool in the 60's. Theres a lovely house in the Abbey Fields which my South African husband says we are going to retire to!! My Dad, John Walker, living in New Zealand now, played in Abbey Fields as a child. Kenilworth is one of my favourite places in the World!!
I remember sitting on this exact bench at the top of Martins Hill in the park in the 1980's, and the view was very similar. I grew up in Shortlands, Hillside Road, and spent most of my childhood in this park. We played cricket in the summer or got cardboard boxes to slide down the hill on the parched grass, then in the winter we got our sledges out to slide down the same hill in the snow. I was very adept at skiing ...see more
This photo takes me back to when I was 5 years old and used to go to the supermarket in the Westmoreland Centre at Bromley South with my mum. It always seemed to be windy there, although I expect this is just the only time I remember being there. There were a wide set of stairs which led from the centre down to Westmoreland Road from the supermarket and I remember (being a very slight child) having to hold on ...see more
I was born in Tean and in about 1957, when I was 8 yrs old, I was allowed to travel to Cheadle alone on the PMT service buses. I was 8yrs old. My gran would meet me at the cinema stop on Butlers Hill. She would always be standing outside the cinema steps. Sometimes I would walk along the High St with her to do some shopping. We always visited on these occasions the market. At the time, the ...see more
H,i my name is Mike. My sisters and I were placed in Hitch and Hatch Childrens Nursery around 1956. Can anyone tell me about the place, I would be very grateful.
Hi my name is Mike Cook, I was born in St Anthonys Lane, Swanley Village in 1953. I had three sisters and one brother. My father, was a farm worker called George Henry Cook, my mothers name was Olive May Cook and we moved to No3 Wood Street. My eldest sister and brother went to live with relatives and my other sisters and myself were placed in care. Does anyone remember the family?
I'm so pleased to see the picture of the post office in Yorkletts. I spent several childhood holidays with my Nan and Gran at Yorkletts, and struggle to recall anything but vague memories of the place. But I do remember walking down to the shop for some 'bits' with Nan's wicker basket on wheels. It's wonderful that the photo confirms that memory.
I used to go swimming at this pool with my school. The water temprature was shown as we entered and was often 36F. If it rained our weekly swimming lesson was cancelled. I never did learn to swim at this pool, as it took me most of my lesson getting used to the temperature of the water!
I was lucky enough to be born and brought up in East Runton. I spent many happy summers playing on the beach. We lived in Buxton Close, the Brick Lane bit, and at the beginning and end of the summer, the caravans would be moved off the clifftops to the storage at the top of our lane. I remember that nearly every week in the summer, someone would hold a jumble sale in the village hall, and we ...see more
Every year we set off from York for a two week holiday at Thornwick Bay. We used to travel by bus, and I well remember the bus always used to breakdown at the top of Garrowby Hill. Everyone had to get off the bus and then stood around whilst the engine cooled down. Then back on board, before getting off at Bridlington, and then getting onto the North Landing bus. We then had what seemed to be a ...see more
Does anybody have photos of Baker Lane or Canal Road in Stanley, or any information about the Littlewood family that lived there? If so, anything about the Littlewood family would be helpful. Contact details: satellite50@live.co.uk .......thank you. Peter Littlewood.
When I turned 13 my family moved from Warrington to Hartford, and although I only lived there for a little over four years, these four years provide some of the happiest times of my early life. 13 must be one of the worst times to start a new school in a new town, that I can think of. I attended Hartford Boys School (I believe that the name changed shortly after I left the area) However, I was befriended and ...see more
I left Great Sankey at the age of 13, having lived at 37 Park Road with Mum and Dad and brother Chris, from the age of five. I initially attended Great Sankey Primary School on Liverpool Rd. I think where the assembly hall was across a small side road, and was where we had 'school dinners'. The only teacher I remember was Mr Neal, whom I had for two years. During our final year, we (the ...see more
I used to attend the dances in Tilbury Hospital in early '60s - they were great fun. Does anyone remember them or any of the nurses from that time? I worked in Grays and played darts in the pub that was,Ii think, in the docks area. Does it still exist? We also went to the Worlds End on Saturday nights. Some times we got the ferry to Gravesend. There was a good night in I think in the Kings Head. I remember also walking on the shore of the river. I preferred Tilbury to Grays.
I was born in Middleton in 1957 and we lived in Pork Street which I believe no longer exist. People I remember living there at the same time are the Woods family, Peter and Trevor Fox with their mum and dad, Conrad and his family (I think their last name was Slater). I have a photo of Conrad and me at a wedding. I was a bridesmaid and he was a pageboy - I think we where aged about 5 or 6. I went to ...see more
One of my earliest memories was the Coronation. In Northfield Road there was a dairy that opened up its premises for a street party. We used to go to the railway bridge off Burgess Road to watch the steam trains. I had forgotten Larkins ice cream until I read the name again here. At the top of Burgess Road there was a blue Police telephone call box. Dr Who chose one of these because they were so common nobody ...see more
My earliest memories are living in no 6 Greystone Cottages. We had no inside loo and had to go to the end of the terrace for the loo. We moved to Hillary Close, Salterbeck for a while to allow modernisation to take place. First school was Harrington infants best memory was coming out of school in pairs and walking to the top of Mountain View to wait for the Queen coming past celebrating her ...see more
Hi, my father's family came from Steventon and I'm trying to find some info about them. My great grandfather was called Thomas Huggins and his wife was Eliza. I think they lived in the main street in Steventon in the late 1800s. They had 4 children, the youngest, Frederick James Huggins was my grandfather. I just wondered if anybody has any info about them as I can't find much in the census records - so if anyone can help please get in touch, thanks.
I was at Regent Road and in love with Mr Oldfield's daughter, Alison, when I was about 8. I have great memories of school holidays at Westward Ho, Skipton and Dalston Cumbria when 3 or 4 of us went to Greta Green and Hadrians wall in Pop Siddall's Ford Zephyr.
One of my early memories growing up in Walker was of sitting on the step to the back yard in my grans lane and seeing a group of people all dressed up in their Sunday best. One of the women was carrying the most perfect baby boy dressed in an amazing long lace gown and delicate white shawl and I had never seen anything so lovely in my short life. All of the grown ups started to call me over to them, ...see more

I Came home from Egypt in 1953 on the S S Lancashire, I remember the landing stage was all afloat; we slept on the Ship that night before disembarking to go through customs then onto the train. I've just been to Liverpool - the first time in 59 years, it is a lovely place.
Does anyone have old photos of Baker Lane or Canal Road in Stanley, or any information about the Littlewood family that lived there in the early 1900's - please help if you can, thank you .....Peter Littlewood.
I happened upon this site purely by accident, but it brought back some great memories. I am Pete Boland, young brother of Owen, a keen & very good footballer. I remember as a kid the matches between Port & High and although the standard of ability was excellent, it would have made the hardened pros of the time cringe. I left to join the Army in 1977 & now live in ...see more
I was born at my grandmothers house no 30 Queens Road in August 1945. Mum, dad and me later moved to no 18. I went to Collyhurst Infants School in 1950 to 1956. My best friend was Cynthia Wilson, she lived in Smedley Road and we remained friends through the years - unfortunatley she died 4 years ago. I then went on to Smedley Secondary School and left at the age of 15. My friends there were Beryl ...see more
Leyland Park is celebrating it's 125th Anniversary this year. Friends of Leyland Park are organising numerous events and would like the whole community to attend. If anybody has access to historical pictures of this park - please share them because they are very difficult to obtain. Thank you x
My dad, lived with his family in Bolton upon Dearne from the age of about 3yrs in 1921. They were (like many others) very poor. My grandad, Frank Coombs (who my dad is named for) and my nan, Henrietta (Hetti) with children Margaret (peggy), Nell, Frank, Sid moved for work in the flour mill. The two younger children were born in Bolton upon Dearne, they were Nelson (Nip) ...see more
I lived near the top of Downscourt Rd, my back garden exiting in St James Rd. Every day I would walk up and down that hill to Roke Primary and later around the local area delivering newspapers for 'Scobles' the newsagent on Godstone Rd. I was a choirister at St.James Church and Mr Warner the choirmaster had a rolled up newspaper called the 'Bonker' which he would tap us with if we misbehaved (not ...see more
Is there anyone out there who went to St Georges School, when it was behind St Georges Church? My maiden name was Anthea Wood, anyone remember me? The date is a bit vague lol, but then I am now 65!
My memories of Rolvenden will never be forgotten. I was eight years old, we lived in Brighton on the south coast, but every year our families would go hop picking at Little Holden farm. The farm was owned by Mr/Mrs Hilder - they had three children Roger, John and Mary.
At eight years old this was adventure with a capital A. On a saturday we would go to the village, stop at the fish and chip shop and eat the food ...see more
I moved to the Chinbrook Estate in 1965 when I was 10 years old. When I was older I spent many an evening in the Chinbrook Public House, I can remember seeing Acker Bilk play there.
As children we used to go to the Tarn, Mottingham Playing Fields & Chinbrook Meadows. We always found something to amuse ourselves.
I remember The Express Dairy in Mottingham Village, the cycle shop, Phillip and Dear.
I used ...see more
I was born in Small Dole in 1956, Oh what a happy care-free childhood we had. All the kids played together, old & young, looking out for each other. We played in the woods, building camps & cooking sausages & beans on open fires, went to the river, made rafts & swam, went to the chalk pits & swam in the "blue lagoon".
My Nanny Tucker was a Fish, sister to Albert Fish. I remember the Baptist ...see more
I grew up in Avery Hill, Eltham, and later in Mottingham. My grandmother lived in Kingsground in the 60's and 70's. She lived in a 2 bed flat with a very long garden. I always used to think, thats the sort of place I'd like to live in when I grew up. Happy memories!
I attended Brown Rigg from 1964 to 1966. As I recall, Bent Toe got stuck in a mud hole and was that exhausted with trying to get out it was kinder to have him put to sleep as the stress and strain on his heart, he was a big horse. I have memories of Dianne, we went out together for a while.
I was the farm Captain for a while until I was caught in a place I was not supposed to be (girls Dorm). I was not the only ...see more
As a child I lived with my parents in a prefab in Corelli Rd SE3. We used to walk through the Brook estate, passing more prefabs to reach the Coronet Cinema in Well Hall. On a Sunday we sometimes watched dad play bowls at the Pleasaunce.
During the 1960s I lived in Kingsground with my young family, looking out to Mitchells farm, not sure if this still exists.
Happy days!!
I have a relative living in Herne Bay, Kent, who is travelling to Swansea shortly. He was evacuated to Pen Y Wern road in 1941? and would welcome any information that adds to his fond memories whilst living in Ystayfera.
Thank you

I went to school at Swannington C of E junior School before moving to Newbridge Secondry Mondern School Forest Road Coalville. Times were hard being one of seven children and much of my chilhood memories are of being ...see more
What lovely memories this photograph has given. I remember going to Peter Pan's Pond on Sunday afternoons. We would catch the number 47 bus from Catford.
I loved the play park and the large sandpit. The swings seemed huge. The best rides were the jungle ride (which is in the photo above) and the mini big wheel. The pond always seemed mysterious with the little fairy house on the island in the middle.
On the way ...see more
We were the first family to move into the new council house at number ten Alibon Gardens. My first school was Hunters Hall from where I was moved for a while To Albert Street school until Eastbrook buildings were completed. I remember standing in the playground at the opening of the school by Lord Halifax. My teacher was a dedicated Welshman named Richard Davis and I listened attentively to his every ...see more
We used to go to the Wimpy to have their fry up. You got a frankfurter wrapped round an egg!
I lived opposite the Angel Hotel from 1940 to 1955. There were several farms in Bolton and most of the farmers had children my age, so I spent many happy hours in the farm yards and country lanes. My best friend Anne Beaumont was a farmer's daughter. I remember her dad offering us a shilling each if we would hoe the weeds down in one of his fields. This we did and he transported us home on his tractor, ...see more
I remember this well. My aunt was Vera Watt and lived next door during the second war. She was a postlady and my uncle Donald Watt was a gardener at St Nicholas. My school holidays were all spent staying with them.
This is Jackson's Field - I lived in one of the houses opposite the rectangle in the background. This was an old WWII water tank and was still lined with metal and we'd play in it as kids. Chipperfields Circus used to pitch just out of shot to the left and I watched the elephants being exercised on Jackson's c.62! Happy days
This is a photo of all three named "institutions" with the Red Garage and Church Hall just off to the left. I thought this was an ENORMOUS road and we never crossed it by the Memorial!
That is Nefyn Primary School on the left, which I attended from 1960 until I passed the "eleven plus" and moved on to Pwllheli Grammar School. It was a long walk from my home in Cefn Morfa Nefyn, ...see more
Does anyone remember a street party in Beaconsfield Street, Prescot? I think it must have been for the Coronation. I was about 4 and I can remember sitting at a long table outside my Grandma's house which was 2 doors up from Prescot C of E school.
I can also remember Sunday School Treats which happened when we had completed the Whit Walks and ended up at Knowsley Park (before it was a Safari Park) we had a party tea in a big marquee and then ran races.
Howel (?) Davies was the post master when I was a child growing up in Morfa Nefyn. His daughter Rhian Wilson Davies was in the same class as me at Pwllheli Grammar School, later amalgamated with Frondeg School to become Ysgol Glan y Môr. She had a younger sister called Helen.
The post office also sold newspapers and comics. I bought nany a Bunty or Judy comic there. I seem to ...see more
Marsh's pork pie shop was opposite Labour Club Number One, at the end of Old Whint Road. The pies were known as the best in the world and we kids at Jagger's (Richard Evans Junior School, West End Road) used to sing 'Marsh's, they make the best meat pies' to the tune of Colonel Bogey. I can't remember the other words. The pies were baked in a commercial oven at the back of the shop and there was always a queue ...see more

Does anyone have any historical information about the Hinxman's of Stockbridge. Have been doing some research into my father's maternal side and have discoverd that at one time they lived in Stockbridge (as well as West Dean, Kings Somborne and other areas around Hampshire ans Wiltshire etc). Perhaps they are buried in Old St Peter's Church Cemetary. If anyone knows or can point me in the right direction it would be appreciated.
Email me at nickygeier (at) fsmail (dot) net
thanks.
I worked in J P Jacksons Butchers in King Street, the shop was next to what used to be the Queens Hotel, they were really very happy days.
Hi, a name search brought me to your link so I thought I'd write in with a request. I'm trying to track down information about my great grandmother who lived in Dumfries between 1900 and 1915.

My mum has a photo taken c1958 when the fountain froze over...its a beautiful picture that has been up on the wall of our family home for as long as I can remember. My memory of the fountain is from the late 70's when I 'borrowed' my older sisters wooden and cork wedge shoes and put one in the water to see if it would float!!! Luckily it did andIi vividly remember how cold the water was as I waded in to retrieve it...happy days!
I have some good memories of Slough High St. My dad worked for co-op as milkman, he had a horse drawn wagon. The horses used to be stabled behind the old Co-op department store on the corner of the Grove. I used to go with my dad to the stables. When the co-op retired the horses my dad went to work for Neville & Grffin - he used to deliver milk all round the Upton Court Estate with an electric hand cart. As ...see more
I was brought up at Onesacre and as a child I can remember going down to the old school house where Mr & Mrs Jones lived. They used to have boarding kennals and they kept a goat in the croft at the end of the lane. We used to feed the goat on our way to school and then do some fishing on our way back home in Mellors Field - we used to tickle them, me and my best mate.
I was born in the square at no 55 and well remember working as an errand boy for Morgans the shop delivering groceries around Bryncelyn and into Nelson village, for the princely sum of half a crown. I set up an account in the Goldsmith's clothing shop and occasionaly purchased clothing, they were lovely people.
Outside of our house, in the corner of the garden, there was a ...see more
My father worked at the Star Hotel and has some wonderful stories but as much as I try I can't seem to find any photographs of the hotel .
In the 1970s, I myself went to a few discos held there, so I vaguely remember the steps up to the main door and the big hall downstairs - but being a teen I was interested in the music and boys not really in the venue.
Any photos and or memories of the Royal Star Hotel would be wonderful.
My father (Bill Rudland) lived in Broadstairs from 1914, and except for WW2, he lived there until he died. I lived there from 1944 to 1962.

I grew up in the village and lived in 38 Harvey Rd, then Lower Harvey Rd, then 4 Camus Rd, Dunbeg, which I watched being built and my father landscaped. My father was Jimmy Lamont, mother Isobel. In the 50s it was a great little place to live.
I remember Joe Wyche very, very well; a very progressive man, and to be frank I owe my success to him.
At age thirteen he hauled me into his office to inform me I was lazy and he was going to make me work. In consequence I did work for fear of my life, and in 1956 came top of the school. This won me a free scholarship to King's School, Macclesfield, an experience that changed a working class lad with his shirt tails ...see more
I lived at 6 Brewery Terrace untill they demolished them - we moved out in 1976 . My parents, Sam and Joan lived there from 1966 and before them my aunt, uncle and cousins Betty, Harry and Peter.
My aunt worked at the brewery in the offices and all my uncles worked there before their national service (during and after the war).
Somewhat puzzled by this photograph, if this is 55',where is Simpsons petrol station?
HI Malcolm, I passed your comments to our archivist and she has changed the date to c1960 - these later images were not dated so we have to make educated guesses! I hope that this makes sense now. Regards, Editor.
Hello, I wonder if anyone knows what happened to the old church in Melody Road? I was a bridesmaid there at my aunt's wedding when I was tiny, around the mid 1950's.
My grandparents, Patrick and Mary Lagan, lived in Sunnyside Drive, Rasharkin. I well remember a holiday there when I was 7yrs old (the last time I saw them). I was born in England, my mum having moved over in the forties. I remember playing with a family called Workman who also lived in Sunnyside. I went back 50 yrs later and the village shop was still there and much as I remembered it - I can still recall the smell of peat fires, and when I sometimes smell it I'm reminded of being there.
I was born at the top of Reigate Hill (Mogador) and would catch the 406 bus every Saturday night to watch the latest films at the MAJESTIC cinema.

The Sultan (this was opposite the Co Op), there was also the South Eastern, and the Locomotive' The Home Cottage we never used.
My girl friends father was George Pearman who was ...see more
I was born at the hospital in Shorncliffe but lived first in the 'stone block' then in the tin town bungalows at Reachfields.

In the early 1960s I used to go to ballet classes upstairs at the Watermans Arms.
I lived in Great Wakering (Twyford Avenue) from 1960-65 although my mother had been born and raised there as had her mother and grandparents. I attended the junior school and then the secondary school. The secondary school was the best school I ever attended and was very well equipped for sport, domestic science & technical subjects. Mr Prince was the headmaster at the time. The fish & ...see more

His father was also named Douglas Walters and they lived at West Brook Cottage, West Brook road in Godalming in 1944. I love to hear from anybody who has any memories or information on him.
I have lived in Stapenhill on the estate. I met a friend there and now he is a part of my life. Had some good times and bad but the best was going to my grandma's for tripe and oinoins and she lived in a bungalow in Stapenhill.
