Worcestershire memories

Church Cottages.

My wife  and I moved here in 1983. We lived in the far cottage of the terrace of 3 (1,Church Cottages), in the foreground of this photograph. Our first daughter arrived whilst we were here. However, the imminent arrival of the second meant that we had to move to a larger property. We had four very happy years here. Unfortunately, the... [more]

Once my home

I lived here for two years in 1941/42.  My father rented it from Mrs Switzer who owned Bell Court.  I was ten years old and together with my parents was escaping the Birmingham bombing.  I used to fish from that very unstable veranda. We later rented a home on Grange Road in Bidford.

Birthplace

My grandparents and their family lived here for many years and I was born in the front bedroom in the middle of the photograph in November 1947. My stay in a castle did not last long, as a few days after my birth we moved to a prefab and lived there until 1960.

Present use

This building is known as "Studley Castle" and after the demise of Rover, who owned it, was sold to a hotel chain.

1980s

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... [more]

Pram race

I was 10 years old when I entered the pram race. Myself and two other neighbours entered as a junior team. I was dressed up as a baby and the two other lads were dressed as mom and dad. The race went round Wooton Wawen. It started at the top of the High Street in Henley, down to the traffic lights... [more]

Getting Older

How times change, reading the memories of Ullenhall relating to Mockley Manor. My mother Mrs Cook was a resident at Mockley Manor which became a nursing home. She was there from 1997 until her death in 2008 at the age of 102. We often wondered what it used to be like when it was a private home.

Leamington Spa Town and City Memories

Mrs Hitchman, widow of Dr Hitchman, donated the site for this church together with a large sum of money. St Mary's was built between 1877 and 1878 by John Cundall in brick with a prominent steeple. The interior is brick-lined. The tower was a mere 75 feet high and has been cemented over. In 1875 the old three-decker pulpit was removed and the font re-located. The horse and carriage gives a tranquil... [more]

Leamington Spa Town and City Memories

The River Leam and All Saints' Church from the suspension bridge. On the left, the high walls at the rear of the gardens give an indication of the flood problems associated with living on a river.

Rugby Town and City Memories

Another recreation ground available to Rugbeians was the Whitehall Recreation Ground on Hillmorton Road, which housed a 28-ton, armoured First World War tank presented to the town in 1919, in recognition of contributions to National War Savings. In 1940 the tank was sold for scrap as part of a new war effort. Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee was celebrated not only with the Clock Tower, but also with an extensive tree-planting project along selected roads leading... [more]
