Childhood Memorys Of Nailsea 1960 S

A Memory of Nailsea.

I was brought up in Nailsea. My parents owned a toy and gift shop on Station Road rented from Bob Vance, later we moved to Noah's Ark Cottage. Built in 1666, it had all the original features intact, the stone walls, roses in the garden cultivated since 1666, and I also remember finding Green Nailsea and
Bristol Blue glass when planting conifers.
I remember the smell of freshly made buns at Parsons the bakers, Hewitts Spar on the corner of Clevedon Road and the local village policeman, Mr Genge. My school was Seven Oaks. The school dinners were served up by jolly cooks. I also remember the dentist Mr Scull, Reynolds sweet shop on Silver Street, Mr Aish the building merchant. I have so many happy memories of Nailsea and would love to hear from anybody else who remembers Nailsea in the good old days.

Hi Martin - I share many of the same memories from around that time, although the school in question was Four Oaks. The building is still there but sadly North Somerset Council have it up for sale as a development - much like most of the old historic Nailsea - ruined my the myopic town planners of the 1970's. Good memories though.
