Lincolnshire memories
Mynah Bird?
I recall many visits to the Rose Bowl Cafe as a small child in the 1960s. We used to walk from Anderby Creek where we used to spend summer holidays. There used to be a Mynah Bird I think.
Golf
I used to cycle from Alford to Sandilands golf course, clubs on my back, and stop off at this cafe I recall what seemed to me a fairly grumpy man but civil, I remember he told me Davy Jones of the Monkees dropped in once, I also remember the Minah Bird. I used to walk round the golf course in the morning looking for balls and play in the afternoon and then cycle home, seven miles if memory serves me. Blimey!
Engagement Party
My husband & I will be moving to the area in July 2006 to retire from Scunthorpe after 34 years and remember our engagement party at the Grange & Links in 1971 it was a lovely evening enjoyed by all our friends we came from Louth on a coach, we were looked after very well by all the staff, we hope to visit the Hotel again.
What super times we had in this area.
Holidays at Sandilands.
My late father used to rent an apartment in a large house opposite the 'pullover' where we would stay for some 2-3 weeks each summer from about 1949-1955. I remember that the lady who owned the house had a large black Labrador who used to love playing on the beach with me and he would dig very large holes in the sand. On one occasion we actually stayed at the Grange & Links Hotel and one of the maids had to find my mother in the dining room because I was terrified of the Daddy Long Legs that were flying around my bedroom. My parents divorced in the mid 1950s and we stopped having holidays at Sandilands until my mum's sister and husband bought a bungalow on Kipling Drive. They later sold this and had another bungalow built on Grange Road. They remained there until their deaths and I have not been back to Sandilands since 1982. I am now in my 63rd year but my memories of Sandilands still... Read more
School House
I have been to visit the old school house in Maltby le Marsh which was a charity school, run by Cornelius Binks. He was my Great great great grandfather. I know somewhere out there there is a photograph of him with his wife and the children at the school, I would be very interested if anyone has a copy of this as I only have a photocopy kindly given to me by the present owner.
Ancestors
While doing my family tree I have come across births of my ancestors in Maltby le Marsh, Mary Skinn born 1856 son of John Skinn who married Elizabeth Rylott at the Parish Church on 23rd March 1852. John's parents were James Skinn born 1771 in Strubby and Elizabeth Bullivant. I am looking for any information on this family. CAN YOU HELP? Mark Skinn markskinndog@aol.com
The Wrong Date
This photographs brings back many happy memories as I was brought up in the first white house to the right of the picture (now Watson's Hardware Store but then Cory's).
The tree shown standing on the corner of Cromer Avenue and High Street was certainly not there after the 1953 flood. It may well have been there before but probably not prior to 1950 as the shops were not built on the front of he house (32 High Street or Dallington) until then.
If anybody wants to contact me about this, my email address is disaster@globalnet.co.uk
