Memories of Worcestershire
Public House
What happened to the Wobbley Wheel pub that used to be in Alfrick Pound? I went past where it was but no longer is?
Old Country
Hi I have only just found this web site but I lived at "the woodings" Old Country, Nr Bosbury from 1963 to 1973. We used to have a pub next door to us which my foster mother was not happy about.
We many animals including a donkey,pony, numerous dogs and cats and of course chickens. I remember the winter with all the snow and stil, have some old B/W photos.
We used to have lovely walks with the dogs in the local country side and we also went to the Malvern Hills quite alot. I also attended Malver Boys College. Wonderful memories,it seems like yesterday and in some ways I wish it was. I remember the shops in Bosbury and was taught to drive by the owner of the garage who let me drive his e-type jaguar.
Any way hope this is of interest and look forward to any other comments

A barn was built/restored to provide storage for the vast number of books the firm carried: it had its own separate heating/conditioning system. Inside the house the enormous kitchen was provided with shelves and cupboards - made on-site by Ken. Interior decoration was begun. The cold water supply, provided from a spring (located... Read more
Williams Farm
My memorys of Alfrick was Hopping at Williams Farm in the war years, being a lad it was great fun, there was a small pub up the road, called the New Inn, seems as if it's gone now, but I can't find where Williams Farm was. It was up a little lane with a post box at the end of the main road with a small stream. Regards, Charles Wood
