Although I have no immediate connection with Ledwell my great-great-grandparents and their family lived here in 1911. His name was George Carpenter and his wife was Alice. They had five children, all being born in Ledwell. In 1911 his job was a farm labourer and their address in 1911 was Ledwell, Steeple Aston. If anyone has any pictures of this area please can I have a look. Thank you, Debbie
I was born at Kettering General Hospital in 1942. My father was the village policeman in Wilbarston since 1939 and we lived there until I was five years old in 1947 when my father was posted to the other end of the county. Wilbarston was perhaps the place I have always regarded as 'home' and I still feel a tingle of excitement on the odd occasions I have visited the village over many decades. My attendance ...see more
At the time of the 1881 census The Bricklayers Arms and Terrace was owned and operated by my great-great-grandmother, Mary Ann Bevis, maiden name Pouncy, who was enumerated as a widow and "Licensed Victualler", or seller of spirits. My great-grandmother, Sarah Ann Hollis, maiden name Gulliver, and my grandfather, Owen Pouncy Hollis, were also living at this address.
When my Great Aunt Phyllis Ivy Jarrett left school at the age of 13 (about 1918), she joined the domestic staff at Williamscot House, where she was an 'under-housemaid'. Phyllis used to send photos home to her mother. These give the impression that life in service was not too bad for Phyllis. One photo shows the staff sitting outside the back door: there's the Butler, the Cook (Mrs ...see more
Went to Silloth in 2001, would like to re-visit again.
The Tucker family were evacuated to Green Hammerton from 1940 - 1942. My brother John lived with Mr & Mrs Blackburn and my sister lived with Mrs Wray at the post office. They are both alive and still keep in contact with one of the village residents whom I shall be visiting this September.
I am researching my family tree and have recently obtained a copy of a death certificate. The informant of the death (also present at the death) was Betsy H. Stockall of Rambler Cottage, Walton-on-the-Hill. Her husband's name was George and they married in 1915. I would be grateful for any information regarding the cottage or the Stockall family. No road name is mentioned so I am unsure as to the ...see more
Not exact on the dates but went to Lowestoft from Norwich on the steam train for our annual day out by the seaside. We saw the Punch & Judy, watched the men fish off the quay and went to the Kensington gardens (?) for a ride on the motor boats. There was then a long walk at the time to get back to the station after a lovely day out.
I was the newspaper reporter for the Coventry Evening Telegraph regional office on Wood Street for a year and lived off Joseph Way on a new housing development. I remember reporting on time share appartments at the former home of Danny La Rue, attending magistrates court and council meetings and eating at Pizzaland which was conveniently across the road from the tiny offices. This is now a book shop I think but ...see more
I remember the ponies coming along the beach and back to the stables along the high street, past what was then the cinema, now a village hall.
We moved into Earlsdon from Wales in 1965 and stayed with my aunty who lived in Belvedere Road. Such a big house with three floors and close to the Spencer Park tennis courts as I recall. The bus used to stop right outside the front door (no 1 in those days) and take us into town and park at Broadgate. We'd always visit Owen Owen (now Primark!) and have a cup of tea and a bun in the ground floor cafe. If we didn't get ...see more
I too was born at Denbigh Hospital (1958) and we lived in Trewen which at the time hadn't been extended to Erw Salsbury. I used to walk to school with Mum down Ruthin Road to Fron Goch and we'd call at a sweet shop on the way back on a busy corner. Dad worked at Edward Thomas & Co which was an agricultural machinery depot. My sister went to the Convent. We moved away in 1965 but some aspects of Denbigh are very vivid for ...see more
Because of the rural nature of Llanfihangel GM memories stretch across the village hub - the Crown pub on the bend by the bridge through to the small cemetary near Ty Ucha farm - through to Cerrigydruddion and even to Llangwm. My father was born at Haffoty Llechwedd in 1915. This was the home of Robert Jones who had just married Jane Elin from Penygaer. Various members of both families ...see more
Llansilin should be the setting for a film or TV serial given the dramatic events that have occured there in relatively recent history. My mother was born in Llansilin in the 1920s and regales me with stories of sad deaths - especially of small children - mysterious travellers, the war time plane crash and various romances and liaisons. Village life nearly a century ago revolved around the magnificent ...see more
My maternal great grandparents lived in Llwyn near the church in Rhiwlas. They - Thomas and Elizabeth Jones - are buried in Llansilin Churchyard with their son Lloyd Jones who was, I believe, the last of the family to live there. They had children called William, Annie Rose, Charles, Robert, Sam, David, Margaret Ann and Henry plus Lloyd the youngest - however I can find no ...see more
To the lady who went to High Legh School. The school mistress was Mrs James who lived on Wrenshot Lane in High Legh. She had two children. Holly Cottage was recently up for sale, on the death of Mrs Hilton. The village continues to expand - we have lots of infill now around the old sites of both of the halls - East Hall and West Hall. The old Army camp was the last development and little remains of the old ...see more
When my dad was demobbed after the war in 1946, we had to move back to London because of his job. We had all our funiture put on a lorry, and the local publican, a Ted Bland, delivered us to a requestioned place over a shop in Hornsey Road, Holloway, Islington, London. This became the second phase in my wonderful childhood, but it took some time to get used to the locals, at the finish they turned out to be ...see more
We stayed in a caravan at Thornwick Bay in July 1937. On a visit to Bridlington harbour I saw the SS 'Yorkshireman', which was the biggest sea-going vessel I'd been near to at that time. I thought it was magnficent and it gave such an impression of power and strength to me as an eleven year old. When we returned to school after the holidays, I drew this black and white monster a number of times and our teacher was ...see more
Too much to say, so in brief: lived on Wolfe Road, played on Mousehold, fireworks night great and sledged on cardboard in the summer and sledge in the snow; watched the soldiers in Brittania Barracks and them lowering the flag just outside the main gates in a railed enclosure long gone; horses at Nelson Barracks at the bottom of Ketts Hill; collected old newspapers which I stacked on old pram wheels which I took to ...see more
Hello, My memory tells me that Polesworth is (and also has been) situated in the County of Warwickshire. All the best. Les Searle
I remember going down the field when there was swings, a roundabout and a slide just by the little woods and further up the pit heaps were the so-called big woods. We used to all go up to the little woods and play foxes and hounds and some of the games we had were memories that stay with me even now. I ran away from a childrens' home in 1990 and my mates from Tindale kitted out a shed in an empty house ...see more
My gran came from Leasingthorne, moving to Cambridge in the late 1920s. She had a sister named Mary who lived in an end of terrace house near a corrugated tin 'social club', chickens were kept opposite. l can remember an Uncle 'Tiser'. Mary had two Yorkshire terriers, Dot and Daisy. From her yard you could see the mine where most of the men worked, l believe Sir Anthony Eden had an estate nearby. Uncle John, his ...see more
I worked in the Tony Bros Ice Cream factory as a school holiday job in 1967 or 68. I vividly remember Tony Tedeschi, who chain smoked Benson and Hedges, Derek the gentle giant who took me under his wing and the lovely Yolande. It was hard work, but good fun and it's a shame it's all gone now. We definitely made the best choc ices in the area.
My memories of Sledmere are those of a small boy growing up in Sledmere between 1947 to 1958 when my parents decided to move from Sledmere. I have exceptionally fond memories of those days. I cannot remember a bad day or a sad day for me they were magical days. Even the seasons had their own special magic in Sledmere with many contrasting feeling, even now as I am typing this I can feel the magic sixty years on. ...see more
Further down East Street there used to be a little sweet shop, if I remember it was called (or known as by us school evacuees), 'Miss Mays'. It was a 'tuck shop' for us as we used to run down a path from near the school to get there and spend our 'penny'. I have returned many times since I was living at Upper Chidden Farm, though the farm has changed hands of course. I was still made welcome and taken into the farmhouse to see the changes. I spent a wonderful time in this area
My mother Pamela Gaskins has often spoken of her days working at the sterling cinema. She was cashier there and has told me she could get a full house in within half-hour, the cheapest being 9 old pennies, the most expensive 3 shillings. Giving change and no automative calculators, quite a feat of mental agility.
Ovingham C of E School had only two classrooms, no hot water and outside toilets without flushing facilities. It was heated by a coal stove in both rooms, but we were never cold. There was a very happy atmosphere there and the teachers were dedicated; we received an excellent education and I was very sad to leave aged 11 to attend QEGS at Hexham. At the onset of the Second World War ...see more
This memory is my mum's - in the 1940s she remembers her dad taking her (on his motorbike with mum in the sidecar) to a smallholding on Eastwood Road in Rayleigh - she thinks probably to buy 'day-old chicks' (her parents kept chickens). We are trying to find out the name of the business or the people who ran it as part of our family history investigations - my great-grandfather had previously ...see more
Kingsbury was great in the early 1970s but not now, it is a dump, full of alcoholics and drug users, it is time to move on I think.
I was born in 1959 and we moved from Rossly Hill to Canfield Gardens in 1960. I am now 50 and still live and work very close to Canfield Gardens. I went for a coffee with a friend yesterday to the cafe at the top of Goldhurst Terrace, just down the side of Waitrose (used to be Ken & Marie deli!) and noticed a set of wonderful black and white prints of the Finchely Road and Swiss Cottage from 1965. ...see more
I remember spending many happy times in Shipley, staying with my grandparents, Mr and Mrs A Garland, or Arthur and Edith (Arlie) Garland, at 16, Church Close, Shipley, Sussex. I used to walk the dog with my grandad across the fields, and play games with the other children in the village - Mays, Goddards, Kings. They were happy, carefree times. I also used to go fishing in the river for eel and ...see more
Watching the Wainwright Walks programme this week, which covered the Swale valley part of the coast to coast route, I was reminded of Brompton on Swale. My best friend's sister and her husband went to Brompton on Swale in the 1950s to work at a local hall/big house for a lady named (what sounded to me at the time, like) Madame Le Terrier. They lived in a cottage nearby and grew their own vegetables etc. ...see more
I was born in Arlesey in 1940 in the large house next to St Peter's church, it was a lovely old place. My mother took my brother Ted and sister Marion to Arlesey when things started to get bad in Islington, London. I was born November 14th 1940, the night the Germans bombed Coventry. They said the bombers were flying over Arlesey all night, my dad said some were so low you could almost ...see more
I remember when we would ride the buckets from Bargoed Pit to Brittania across the river, our big rope swing by Angel Lane and teasing the Pit Bobby. How we survived I'll never know. I think we learned more about elf'n safety the natural way than all the over-paid 'experts' could in a lifetime of courses that they have attended, I'm still kicking in my middle age...
Regarding the statement of Percy Bonner and his wife Rennie Bonner, written by Ken Crammer: These people were my aunt and uncle. Uncle Percy and Aunt Rennie went on to have 2 children, Louisa and Percy aka Penny, both married and continued to live in Crays Pond with their children and grandchildren near by. In 1966 Uncle Percy was in a tragic accident when a tree fell on him and he was killed, Aunt Rennie ...see more
Hi Brenda Thanks for the reply. You Mac's workers are all just one big family, so to speak. Since I started the site in March this year, I'm amazed as to how many of you seem to know each other. Oddly enough I'm having talks with Ray Sandys and I'm hoping to meet him and Mr Charlie Caisey in the near furture. Ray's playing with boats in Norfolk now. Can I ask two things of you. 1. Can you be more percise as to who ...see more

I remember my first job was on Low Lodge Farm. We had to milk the cows and the milk went into 10 gallon churns which we had to wheel up to the top of the yard and lift onto the milk stand for the wagon to pick up. I was 15 at the time and those churns seemed like they weighed a ton. The farm has gone now, and four house are in its place.
My great-grandfather was born at The Folly, Deerhurst in 1886 and moved to Walton, Deerhurst, his name was Thomas Finch. Thomas's father was David Finch and his mother was Annie Finch (nee Jackson). We know that Thomas moved to Phelps Farm in Ripple, Worcestershire and he is buried in Ripple church but we don't know where David and Annie are buried. Thomas at one point in his life lived at Ridgeway Farm, ...see more
I seem to recall a long term stay at this hospital (approx 11 months) in 1976-77. I suffered from asthma but I am not sure why I had to stay for that period of time. I was also on the Florence Gibson Ward and remember a boat and a steam roller in bright colours (I think). I always had to blow into a machine is a room to test my breathing. I also seem to remember watching a Liverpool v Borussia ...see more
I remember going every year to Frodsham with the Orange Lodge. We would play on the helter-skelter and also the swingboats. It was a great day out! I went to a party there the other year at a country club, how it has all changed! (But the view from the hill is still as good as ever.) I have also recently discovered that my great great great grandfather, Isaac Ellison, was born in Frodsham in 1813, and in 1851 he lived at a place called Five Crosses in Frodsham.
I would be about 8 at the time, and a picnic on the Island was a rare treat as dad worked and holidays were usually spent with my brother in Leicestershire, was it me, or was it always sunny then...The new school was built the year befor I move up to Ysgol Dafydd Hughes ( as it was known then) and I remember HRH coming to open the school and I know that someone took a cine-film of it, but I have had no joy in locating a copy, anyone out there know of one knocking around...?
Early years - Nurse Britton was a friend as she was to most I believe. I was too young to be exact with memories but my gran lived opposite Whitemans shop which got hit by a bomb in the Second World War. I remember the garage which sold Ford cars as the man said he would keep the car on display(Ford Prefect?) for me until I was old enough to drive, and just down the road towards Diss there was a school I think I ...see more
Hi all, Can anyone help with memories or anything connected to the great British company MacFisheries 1919-1979/80? I'm constructing a non profit making web-site dedicated to this long gone major company and any help would be greatly appreicated. See: www.macfisheries.co.uk Is Macs in any of the Camberley High Street photos on this site? Here's hoping Colin French
I spent many happy weeks at Reighton Gap in the early 1960s. My grandparents, John and Pat, lived in Sandsdown on Boatcliffe Road. They also owned four further bungalows at Reighton Gap which they rented out to holidaymakers in the summer. Many people returned year after year, rebooking immediately after their week's holiday ended. The four bungalows were Brineton, Cremond, Windcliff and Goosecliff. I ...see more
My father grew up on Compton Bassett, his name was Reginald Hooper and he lived with his parents and brothers and sisters at No 36. I remember well the stories he told me as a child about his childhood growing up in the village, his friends, how they played in the street and roamed all over the fields, sang in the church choir and went to school in the village. It all seemed so idyllic but I suppose ...see more
I'm trying to find out about the chemist in Fore Street, it is called Sheriffs now, but I was told it used to be an inn and I would like to know the name of it, and any more info on the building. Thank you.
I have happy childhood memories of walks to Upleatham's tiny church with my dad when I spent 15 years of my childhood living at Skelton. We would walk to the church through the fields from Barns Farm. Even though I was so young I rember my mum saying that the little church had work done on it and so Dad took me along to visit the church not long after its renovaton by the Green Howards in the year 1966. At the ...see more
G & G Wellman had the Anchor Inn before The Leigh Hotel.
Mum & Dad married here. (Dorothy & Ken W)
Tried the big pool when I couldn't even swim!
My Grandad Wellman (Herb) was the Landlord at the Tabby Cat for several years until he retired. Before that he was at the Leigh (Eastleigh) & Cons Club before that!!
I returned with my mother from the United States to Talacre where my grandmother lived. My grandmother's name was Dora Williams, she lived at Beach Cottage, Station Road. Dora Williams during the Second World War owned a bakery on the Warren. After the war, she came up with the business idea of a caravan site which was constructed on the left side of Station Road before the Post Office. This was originally ...see more
As a child my annual family holiday was spent in Shaldon, first staying at The Teign Crest as a baby and small child, later at The Clipper. Two weeks of blissful freedom - shoeless and carefree. Not many cars in the village in the 1960s, so we children ran wild, only turning up at feeding times. Great family mackerel fishing jaunts, or trips up river to Coombe Cellars in the Hooks' boats. Fabulous clotted cream ...see more
I am Jean Jackson (now Jean Gwynne), I lived in Llafaes Estate from 1947, and I also remember David Mills and Mary Quinn, I moved to 19 Bryn Teg when I was 6 and became a member of the Morris Dancing Team, other people I remember from that time are Betty Evans, Joyce Painter and Linda Jones, who I have never seen since those days. When I returned to Beaumaris a few years ago on holiday, I took Alan my husband to ...see more
I am researching the history of the Memorial Gardens and wonder if anyone in Crawley has memories of when this was a recreation ground, and when exactly it bacame known as the Memorial Gardens - I think during the 1960s. Thank you if you can help.

Our police officers, left after mobilisation and known to me, were PC Whale, Stramshall. Sergeants Anderson (Div Clerk), Sgt. Chamberlaind (Great War veteran) and PC Jack Blower, who was called the Black Abbot, I never knew why. All ARP activities were police controlled and during 1941/2 parachutes, clearly German, were found at Bramshall, Stramshall and Marchington. We were then ...see more
I was a boarder at St Peter's Court, Bacton, Norfolk in the 1950s and a few years ago I found Rosemary, the daughter of the headmaster, in a village nearby. Sadly no one else had left their names so that some of us old boys could find each other. I wish I could find some old boarders but it seems unlikely. I can only remember a boy who came from Mundesley or North Walsham whose father ran a building firm. Lovely to ...see more
My father, Edmund Harris Biggs, visited Luton in 1918 when he was in England during World War I. He visited what was supposed to be the Biggs family home. It was a large house with a circular driveway and possibly a covered portico. He met an elderly lady, possibly unmarried, knoiwn as Aunt Dyer. I would love to find out whatever I can about this house, the lady and any other Biggs family history. My Grandfather was ...see more
My husband inherited a watercolour of a barn entitled 'Fittleworth 1882' by the artist named above - it could read Hry N Hussey for Henry - but not clear. We wondered whether anyone could shed any light
I was the Assistant Manager at the Lyric. We had a disco club upstairs. Saturday mornings were fun, and loud! My manager was Mr Ken Porter.
I now live in Australia but I have fond memories of going to the pictures at the hall and also being terrified when having to partake in the school plays at Christmas which were held in the hall. My parents ran the Shell Sevice Station and Cafe for about four years (Gwen and Eric Simms) 1953-1957. If there is anyone who was at school with me or my brothers who would like contact I would be pleased to hear from them. Margaret
Transcribed from the Central Somerset Gazette of 1891: 16 May 1891 - Meare - "The Friendly and Benefit Society established last 9th Sep, held its first general church parade…After the service, the men reformed into procession and headed by the Glastonbury Good Templar Band…marched around the village and visited the farmhouses and the houses of the resident gentry, where they were ...see more
I am researching my late grandmother (Molly Bufell)'s family history and wonder if anyone can help. I know a lot of her sisters performed on the stage in Workington and her mother owned a guest house where a lot of the actors stayed. They lived in New Yard, Sewells Lane, Marsh Street, Jane Street and Jane Street. I also understand they lived in South Watts Street at Cockermouth. Does the surname ring a bell with anyone, please? Thank you
I have little information, other than my paternal Grandmother was the eldest of 16 children born in Bradwell approximately at this time, or much earlier, possibly 1875 onwards. Her maiden name was Elizabeth Cook. A cousin of mine says we should have a lot of relatives in Bradwell! Unfortunately we have no record of them. My Grandmother married a Edward Bennett and later they became a Victualer of The Fox ...see more
I remember being taken down to Alfriston in the 1930s before the Second World War. My great-aunt and great-uncle, Polly and Arthur Newell, had a smallholding on the downs, about half a mile from the village, where they kept chickens and ducks, and a few sheep. My mother told me that Aunty Polly helped a cousin, Jack Butland, to buy the farm, where he lived for many years with ...see more
My family moved to Chilton Foliat and took over the "Old Post Office". I was still young then and went to the old school run by Mr & Mrs Hassall who lived next door to the school. Two classrooms and very fond memories. At the end of every day we would all have to stand still, dead quiet and were not allowed to leave until we heard a pin drop! Then the Hassalls left and Mr & Mrs Porter took over, ...see more
My grandparents lived at Clearbrook, and as a child I used to spend nearly all of my summer holidays with them. I used to love going for rides on the train to Tavistock and Princetown. My gran took me on a train to Princetown just before the line closed. Other times I used to wander for miles over the moors and down the meadows by the River Plym. Some of my happiest childhood memories are of Clearbrook, it's ...see more
My aunt Phoebe and uncle John George Charlton lived near the hump bridge crossing the Sunderland to Newcastle train line. We got off the bus at the Wheatsheaf pub travelling from Gateshead to walk about one hundred yards. Their home was adjacent to the line next to an abattoir down a narrow lane. My mother used to visit them during the war years beginning in about 1940. I was seven years old and I would ...see more
On holiday from Inverness in 1952, my mate entered me in the Saturday night talent contest that was, I believe, held every Saturday then. I sang a brand new song called 'Luna Rosa' and went over very well. After all entrants had had a go, judged by audience applause a chap who had performed 'That Old Black Magic' and I were said to be a draw! So to decide which of us was the winner, both of us had to sing the same ...see more
I was born in Weston Green, my parents having lived at Maisonette, Weston Green. My grandfather Charles Dobson was the local baker and lived on the green in the house on its own called The Lodge which was where the cricket was played. I used to watch it from my grandmother's back yard. She had ducks and hens and used to hire out horses to people, but I was not born at that time, I only remember the ...see more

My great-great-grandmother and grandfather lived in Princess Street. He was a dentist, his name was Alexander Spalding Watson and his wife was Sarah Watson, they later moved to London to St Martin's in the Field, by Trafalgar Square. These photo are great as we can see how and where they lived.
Walter Shreeve (Tiny) was my great-grandad, he was a one-time weight lifter, wrestler and boxer and a swimming coach in Great Yarmouth and Norwich. As a swimming coach he had many national champions. He coached at the Gorleston Pool and also the Eagle, Swan and the Samson swimming pools in Norwich. He was born in 1905, and he died in 1955 aged 50. If anyone has any information or stories about Walter please could you email me. Yours sincerely, Erica Jordan
In 1943 at the height of the Second World War, I was an evacuee and I stayed with my relatives who lived in Crackingtom Haven. Although I was only 6 years old at the time I have vivid memories of the six months I stayed there. If there is anyone who remembers me and would like to exchange some memories please email me at 'gk.ward@sky.com' Graham Ward
During the Second World War I was evacuated from Harrow and stayed with my relatives in Crackington Haven. I was only 6 years old at the time and went to St Genny's School for about 6-7 months before returning home. The headmaster at the school was Mr Bloomer, and his wife also taught there. If there is anyone who remembers me please email me at 'gk.ward@sky.com' for the exchange of some memories. Graham Ward
