Derbyshire memories
I am The Boy on The Bike!
I am the lad on the bike in this photo. I remember the photographer standing in the road with a camera on a tripod. I know for def it was a Saturday morning because it was my job to fetch the bread from Stoppards the butchers/bakers every Saturday morning.
Stoppards Butchers
I remember pigs squealing as they arrived for slaughter. We lived on the street below.
My Gran
My gran was born on this street, she lived here till she married then moved to Huthwaite village where we grew up. I loved exploring Derbyshire. Most of my ancestors were born here including Sir Richard Arkwright (Inventor of the cotton mill)..Great memories...
St Barnabas Mission
I remember as a kid being in the choir at the mission, in those days we had no choice but to attend, but they were good days, the crossings, the canal.
Mission Hall
I went to the Mission Hall in 1941, for Sunday school reading, the Vertigan family took the classes, this was also the library. Concerts were held there, also tea time parties. Bargies came to the services when they tied up by the canal side. I was born nearby in 1936.
Wycliffe Congregational Church
My Grandfather, the Reverend Thomas Arthur Bairstow was the minister of this Church from 1924-30. This year (2007) we visited Alfreton for the first time. It was heartening to find that the church is still being used as such. New Life Church (NLC)now use the building and, although it was a weekday, we were able, courtesey of the Pastor, to enter the building and take some photographs. There are still several plaques remaining commemorating past members and events. The interior remains almost unaltered apart from the removal of the pews in favour of more versatile seating. The organ, although no longer in use, remains in situ.
Swans Row
I was born on Swans Row, also known as Berryford Place. I would love to go back there, I know the M1 runs through it now but the back roads are still there. I need to know how to get there now, I now live in Manchester, hope someone can help me find my birth place.
