Young Lad on The Platforms
I was a 10 year old lad living at the Alexandra Inn now known as the Hungry Fox pub.

Lowbrook
The field in your picture where the sheep roam is now a football field and a park for the children of Rockbeare.
Budlake Post Office
What an amazing place! The old post office in Budlake has been preserved by the National Trust and it is absolutely fascinating getting close up to the village shop goods and the post office stamps and stationery from the 1950's!
The National Trust staff allow visitors supervised access behind the counter where you can handle pounds shillings and pence from pre- £ s d days! Also enjoy remembering things like the old postal orders that I used to receive for half a crown almost sixty years ago.

I visited with my wife Elizabeth and sister-in-law Margaret and we couldn't stop talking about it afterwards as it was so lovely. They also have a cottage garden attached which is attractive.

I remember being shown around one of the theatres that had a filled in fireplace at an angle in the corner of the room space!
In the Home there was large shared bathing rooms of 6 that you could screen off your bath while bathing. They were the most enormous cast iron white baths that when... Read more
Domenic Reitzo
Domenic Reitzo was the model for this soldier. Born around 1860, he was an Italian immigrant who lived in the Lambeth area of London. He was a popular model for painters and sculpters at the Lambeth School of Art.
Snap!!
I looked at this and thought, 'I've seen that somewhere before!' I have a very similar photograph taken in May 2009. Building seems as if it has been locked in time looking at this photo. Wonderful!
Bishop Blackall School 1947-51
Does anyone remember the fascinating history with Miss Vaudrey or the English Lit with Miss Chappell, or scary maths with Miss Parkinson? Or Timothy Whites in the High Street? Happy times.
