Nostalgic memories of Bengeo's local history

Share your own memories of Bengeo and read what others have said

For many years now, we've been inviting visitors to our web site to add their own memories to share their experiences of life as it was when the photographs in our archive were taken. From brief one-liners explaining a little bit more about the image depicted, to great, in-depth accounts of a childhood when things were rather different than today (and everything inbetween!). We've had many contributors recognising themselves or loved ones in our photographs.

Why not add your memory today and become part of our Memories Community to help others in the future delve back into their past.

My first employment was in the year 1945 when I started work at Conrad and company in Bengeo. I Cycled from Newgate Street Village every day. Conrad was a printing firm, and my first job was on a Cropper Charlton Press printing business cards and letterheads. The location of the firm was in the yard of a pub, I believe it was called the Greyhound. Next to the yard was a tobacconist shop run by a Mr ?. I stayed there until I was called up for National Service in 1949. Colin Maryan.
