Somerset memories
Allerford Pack Horse Bridge
When I was younger, my mum, nan and grandad used to take us to Somerset for our summer holidays and we always visited my nan's (Ethel Sedman) old house where she grew up. The house I'm relating to is the cottage always pictured with the pack horse bridge. I have many fond memories and can't wait to take my own kids there to show them where their roots are.
Porlock Hill
I remember coming down the hill in my dad's car and it was quite a worry, especially as dad said "Because it's a very steep hill they've put escape routes into the side of the hill in case your brakes failed". Me and my three bothers were very scared when he told us that. Also we saw the stag hunt hounds up on the very top.
Summer Holidays
My grandparents lived in Porch Cottage in Luccombe.
I would often be taken to visit my grandparents but it was during the summer holidays I had the most fun.
Luccombe village is a magical place for a child and even more so in the summer months, it truly is one of the most beautiful places and the times I spent there are my happiest memories.

Tom & Lizzie Cook
1948 - onwards. My Mother and her two cousins were brought up by their Aunt and Uncle as above and I spent all my childhood holidays with them. Great Aunt Liz was well known for her teas for visitors and ramblers from CHA Porlock. On such an occasion all the kettles we could find would be filled and put on the range, every tea cup & saucer, milk jug and sugar bowl would be washed and placed on as many trays (with tray cloths) as were available. She had difficulty understanding decimal coinage and everyone was still only charged 2s.0d. Uncle Tom was a good horseman working at Porlock Riding Stables, Porlock Weir, and a knowledgeable countryman. He could tell a good yarn and played at many dances with his squeeze box. They are both buried in the Churchyard along with my great grandparents and great great uncle Nath who retired to Worthy Lodge from Parsonage Farm collecting tolls at the... Read more
Nan And Grandad's House
My Nan and grandad lived in the house on the left hand side of the street where the grey car is parked outside. It was a great place to play when I was a child. I loved this place. It was beautifully old fashioned both inside and out. Lots of happy memories spent here. Rachael Mead
School Carol Concert
This was where my mother and father were married in 1937.
I used to walk up to the Church with the whole of Minehead Grammar School for our annual Christmas Carol Service. Our lovely music teacher, Mr Langdon, used to play the organ and I can still hear the bass notes reverberating around the Church while we sang 'God is Love' in Latin.
Pony Rides
We used to call this 'the donkey slip'. It was where the Webber family started their donkey and later pony rides.
My friend and I used to be in charge of the pony rides during the summer season sometime in the 50's.
We weren't paid but had the joy of riding the ponies bareback to their field on North Hill at the end of the day, after cleaning the tackle and putting it in the stables.
