Grandfather
My grandad lived in Sharnford as a young boy and young man before he married my grandma. I know nothing about him or the family or where he lived. Can anyone help.
Happy Days
I was born on the 6th of July 1936 at 61 Hinckley Road. My mother was Edith Truslove, nee Turrell, father William Truslove. I had an idyllic childhood. Playing in Ken Underwood's fields. Watching the quarry steam locos running to and from the quarries on Sapcote Road and the crusher down Elmsthorpe Lane. All my uncles worked in the quarries as did most of the village men. We had long walks to Croft, Sapcote,Elmsthorpe and Watery Gate, lots of picnics. Wonderful teachers, Jenny Tansy, Mrs Middleton, Mr Pye Bill Truslove
Netherley House, Hinckley Road
Hi Can anyone help me? Was there a Netherley House in Hinckley Road in the late 1930s/early 1940s? I have a relative who was born there in November 1940 but I cant see any record of the place. Any help would be appreciated. Regards Tracey
School Run
I lived up at the Three Pots on the A5, just opposite the pub of that name, me and my mum and dad had just moved there from Wellesborough near Sibson when I started at Burbage infant church school in 1955. On my first day at school, around November time, it was really cold with deep snow and me and my mum walked up to catch the H21 at the bus stop up by the Co-op at the top of Wolvey Road. My feet got so cold and wet as I only had ordinary school shoes on, she had to take me back home again to warm me up and put me in some dry socks and wellingtons, I think I got to school about an hour late, on my first day as well. I still remember the headmistress Miss Wheelock who lived down Wesley Walk, a vision of a village headmistress she was, and a kind nice lady as I remember. My next school when I... Read more
Earl Shilton Bakery in The 1930s?
Does anyone know anything about a bakery in Earl Shilton around the time of 1930? My husband's family apparently lived and worked there and I'd love to find out more about it.
My Early Years
My memory of Shilton is when I started school at the infant school in The Hollow which is now a supermarket, and then to the school in Wood Street, after that to Heathfield at Bel Vue and we used to play in Dan Asley's sand pit on the home.
After I left school I worked for a Mr Surch at Kesters Nook which is no longer there, and then he went to Australia and I went with him, here I have been for the last 54 years. But I have been back to Shilton a few times as I still have three sisters living in England and I still call it my home. But it has changed so much that I have lost all contact with all the boys I used to go to school with and I hope someone still remembers me.
We also liked to go down to Elmsthorp and watch the old steam trains go through and put pennies on the line to let the train flatten... Read more
Earl Shilton
My memories are of Earl Shilton and similar to those of Eric Johnson. I started at Earl Shilton Infant School in 1959 and the headmistress was called Mrs Cloe. When I was in her class she would read Brer Rabbit books to us at the end of each day and if the boys were naughty they had their legs slapped. It was a little school which my grandmother and mother also went to and as Eric stated is now a supermarket. I lived down Elmesthorpe Lane and my dad used to take me to see the steam trains at Elmesthorpe - although they were few and far between at that time, Dad knew when they were due. My next school was at the other end of the village which was Earl Shilton Junior School. There was a little sweet shop on the corner where we used to buy sherbet dips and jubilees. I go back to Earl Shilton perhaps once every couple of years and although the shops are different... Read more
