Herefordshire memories

Research - 1700s

I am looking for information about Sarnesfield in the 1700s and about the court house. Also, as I live in Canada and do not know much about the British law system, I would need to know how the courts operated in those years. What I need to know is about the size of the town, prominent citizens, marketplace and anything else... [more]

Before school

Mr & Mrs Potter managed Bon March shop and they had two young boys, Robert and Edmond.  My mum, Edna Griffiths, helped to look after the children and, being pre-school age, I used to go along with her.  Mrs Potter used to bring us pasties from Jones' Bakery (where the Chinese takeaway is now).

On the way home we used... [more]

Visiting the Corner House

I visited Weobley in the late 60s as a child with my Mother to visit our Herefordshire cousins. We stayed with Mum's Great Uncle Fred (Frederick Hope) and his daughter, Mabel Hope. They lived at the Corner House and I think Mabel's brother, Rogers Hope, lived near by in Broad Street. We came from London and I remember... [more]

Mrs Price's tuck shop

I lived at Lucton in the late 1960s and remember buying sweets from the shop.
I vaguely remember a young girl staying there who we played with in the meadow. The Buttons Sandra mentions are probably the BUFTONS.

Ye Old Tuck Shop and Mrs Price

My grandmother was Ann Elizabeth Price and lived in a beautiful house. She ran a little shop in the house and it was called YE OLD TUCK SHOPE. It is the most beautiful little village I have every seen. I remember the people around, how kind and friendly the were. The buttons and the Davies and old Fred. I remember playing... [more]

Gardener's boy

My father went to work at Hampton Court as a gardener's boy when he left school at the age of 14 in 1917. By then, it was in use as a convalescent hospital for soldiers. I remember my father saying that he had to put little leather boots on the pony's hooves to mow the lawns with the horse-drawn mower,... [more]

Extracts From Almeley & Herefordshire books

Displaying a selection of extracts from Frith books about Almeley, inspired by Frith photos.

Kidderminster Town and City Memories

This view of the main road (known here simply as 'The Ringway') shows St George's Park just to the left of the dual carriageway. The park was originally twice the size it now is, for much of it was lost when the road was cut through here. This section and St Mary's Ringway formed the first stage of the building operation, and were... [more]

Kidderminster Town and City Memories

Now known as the Great Chamber, this room has since had panelling added to the walls, bringing it more into line with how it probably looked in around 1600.

Kidderminster Town and City Memories

The two stairs here are raised to reveal the entrance to one of the hiding places, a small room that was hidden beneath two floor levels.
