Memories of Northamptonshire
The Shop to The Left of The Picture
The shop on the left was, from 1900 to 1950, a sweet shop and newsagents. First owned by Fennel and Means, two single ladies. Then the Coxs bought it and moved the shop across the road to the right of the picture. Then it was a barber's shop, violin maker's shop and now it's owned by an Eel Catcher and Willow merchant. The terrace was built in 1774.
Mason Family
My great great grandfather, Fred Mason was born in Outwell, Norfolk around 1859, he had a brother, john Thomas. It is believed that the family ran/owned a laundrette business. In 1880 he married Jane Ann Yates from Rostherne Village, Altrincham, cheshire. Why he and his brother moved to cheshire is unknown. still looking for any information.

School
My name was at that time, Annette Mothersole. I am the youngest daughter of Doris and Bert Mothersole. My two sisters are Yvonne Rushbrooke and Vivienne York. My dad was a farmer we lived on Poppyloy Farm. and went to school at Southery and till I was about 11 and then moved to Feltwell. My dad was a Capt. in the Southery Home Guard in WW11. I would love to know more about that unit and the men in it. After my dad was in a horrific accident he and my mother moved to a smaller house in Hockworld, but my dad always went to the Bell in Southery on Sat. to have a couple of drinks and to play dominoes and when I was home to see them i went with him. He loved that game!!
If you have any memories to share of the Home Guard, or my family I would love to hear them. Thank you. Easter Sunday 2010
Salters Lode c1900 Painting
I have a painting by Charles A Challis c1900 of Salters Lode. I've tried to research him & believe he was a schoolmaster at Salters Lode or nearby.
Life in The Country
I was stationed in the USAF at RAF Lakenheath. I resided at Church View, Church Road with my wife, 3 daughters, and our 3 Shelties. My oldest daughter Cindy learned to ring bells at the church and was sweet on a local boy, Robert Pepper, who was killed early in life on a motorcycle. My den turned into a local gathering place for the teens in the village and I thoroughly enjoyed my tour, the people in the town and the wonderful view of the church from our front gardens. I will always cherish the memorys of the English countryside and the Fens.
