Silver Watch

I have taken possesion of a very tired silver watch. On the back is engraved 'Presented to Rev J Pearce by the Welsh Row Choir. July 1927'. Does anyone have an interest in the watch?

Barbridge

I can remember visiting my grandparents at Barbridge as a small child.  In the early 60's my grandparents name was Poole and they lived in the end house nearest to the pub.  Grandad worked for British Waterways and the garden went straight up to the canal.  The people next door were called Bunn and I think Mr Bunn worked with my grandad - Mr Bunn had a daughter called Sandra.  My grandad had an accident at work when I was 3 and unfortunately did not survive.  I can remember running up the road to the shop as a small child and remember the house that my grandparents lived in very well.  My grandma lived at the house with my aunt until the end of the 70's or early 80's.  My grandma and aunt Minnie went to live in Nantwich after grandma had a bad fall and coulnd no longer live in the house.

My childhood

Hi, I was born and raised in Crewe until I was 18 when I joined the WRAF.
My school was Brierely St. Secondary Modern School and my maiden name was Chesworth. I have many fond memories of my time there and would love to hear from anyone that was a school mate of mine from 1953-57. Now I am retired in the South of France, after having lived and travelled abroad for most of my life. However Crewe is where I was born and I have fond memories of it. Though I must say it has changed so much that I hardly recognize the place anymore. So if anyone can remember Lynne Wald please do get in touch.
