The woman my father married
I don't know a lot about Blyth, Northumberland, only that for some strange reason I visited an awful lot during my life but thought nothing of it. My current fiancee and I would sit for long periods on the old docks at the bottom of Ridley Street area, eating locally purchased cheeseburgers etc.
I remember once booking a romantic table for two in Blyth, but it was a waste of time - she only potted 3 reds!
Much later in my life I learned that my grandfather, James Barns Chilvers, was lost at sea after leaving Blyth harbour on 25th November 1925, on a collier named Galleon, bound for London. She never made it. Only wreckage of the ship ...read more here

I was one of so many 10 year olds that arrived in East Retford Sept 1939. I was so lucky to have been cared for by caring loving families in Retford for five years. The most happiest childhood memories of my life. I have cherished those memories for the the last 69 years. God Bless East Retford.

Remembrance Day
It was in the mid 50s that I went with my Grandmother to the Remembrance Day services held at the War Memorial. There were a group of WW1 veterans in a line and as a young child it was a surprise to me that they were crying. When I grew up and learnt what had been the horror of that war I understood.
My Grandmother had several cousins who died and whose names were on there. She pointed them out to me, but I do not remember them. In my mind's eye, I can see the scene. Remembrance Day remains an emotional time for me and I'm sure it goes back to those Sundays in November.

Extracts From Barnby Moor & Nottinghamshire books
Ye Olde Bell was described in the 18th century as a ‘gentleman-like, comfortable house’; it has some fine rooms, including
this one with panelling and a Jacobean-style plaster ceiling, all Victorian. I remember it being a Sunday afternoon treat
in the 1950s to be taken here for tea by my grandfather, riding out from Gainsborough in his Ford V-8 Pilot. After tea my
brother and I used to be sent out into the gardens to play, while the grown-ups lingered over their tea cups.

The Church 1890
In this picture the ancient village church
looks brand new; it was. The Reverend
Edward Hadley had All Saints completely
rebuilt between 1886 and 1888, and paid
for it himself.

King Street is the location of the former market place,
which was built over many years ago. Also along here is
the timber-framed Saracen’s Head. In 1646 it was known
as the King’s Arms; it was here that Charles I spent his
last hours of freedom before surrendering to the Scots.

The builder of Syerston Hall, William Fillingham, has a con-
nection with Balderton in that his ancestors were farmers
there. Though William was himself a farmer, he was also a
land surveyor, property developer and investor in canals. He
obtained Syerston in 1792 when he bought 500 acres from
Lewis Fytche for £12,375. William died before Syerston Hall
was finished; it was completed by his son, George.
