Biddestone
I was born in Biddestone in 1953. I went to Biddestone School, Mrs Taylor was the cook and I believe the teacher that I had was Mrs Walker. There was a large field out the back of the playground that we used in the summer for sports and at lunchtimes. There was some large trees along one side that gave us some shade on very hot days. On the 1st May we danced around the maypole on the village green. I also remember Miss Weeks who lived in the thatched cottage next to the school. My father helped when the pond was cleaned out in 1959, I have a photograph of this work being done.. I still go to Biddestone with our grandchildren and feed the ducks, it brings back so many memories. I try to go to the village fete each year .

RE: RE: Biddestone
Hi, I like your pics. I have lived in Biddestone for 7 years, I look after a 79 year old man who has lived in Biddestone most of his life - his name is Brian Brain and he used to go to the school. He lived in the house next to the toilets and now lives opposite in turnpike cottages. I will ask him about the caravan site and if he knows if anybody has any pics. I think he is one of the only older persons left. If you come again, have a look in the white horse there is a big picture of him and some other people from many years ago. Kind regards, Steve.
