Cheshire memories
My husband and his cousins were born in Burford Lane over 70 years ago and the pictures are just as the lane is now except that cars may be seen parked. In the 1950s there used to be a taxi business at the top of the road and the soldiers who were stationed at High Legh Camp were their constant customers.... [more]

My uncle's grandmother, Mary Solan, is recorded as living at 99 High Legh with six children and two lodgers. Does the address refer to a street of the same name as the village? Are there any pictures that would show this address?

I was in the first group of Lymm Grammar School students to move to Oughtrington Hall in 1945/46. Later, perhaps 1952/53, we established cricket at the school and played matches against other Cheshire Grammar Schools there - all very pleasant memories. I also played cricket for the Oughtrington Park club before I moved to the south of England and then played... [more]

We moved to Lymm from Altrincham soon after the war when my mother remarried (she was a war widow). It was lovely having a new Council house which had a bathroom and inside toilet - I had been used to an outside toilet and going to my grandma's for baths.
The school was just further down the road and Miss... [more]

Extracts From Agden & Cheshire books
Displaying a selection of extracts from Frith books about Agden, inspired by Frith photos.
Wilmslow and Alderley Edge Photographic Memories
The Carrs are part of the meadow land along the River Bollin that once provided pasture land for Wilmslow`s residents. Now the scene of many a weekend football match, in the late 19th century it was where Wilmslow`s washing was hung out to dry. The Bollin once powered a silk mill here, whose buildings later became a laundry that boasted that it returned everything except the dirt.

Wilmslow and Alderley Edge Photographic Memories
For a number of years during the Second World War, `Romany`, the Rev George Bramwell Evens, was a great favourite on Children`s Hour with his nature talks, when he was often accompanied by his dog Raq. Evens` mother was a gypsy, and he and his wife restored this traditional caravan in the 1920s. After he died in 1943, Mrs Evens gave the van to Wilmslow, and Raq, who died in 1947, is buried beside it.

Wilmslow and Alderley Edge Photographic Memories
Even in the 1960s the photographer must have risen very early to take this picture; although the cars were not yet controlled by lights, even then there was usually much heavier traffic on the main road into Manchester. The Bluebell Garage is still on the corner, although it now concentrates on selling expensive cars rather than petrol.
